stimulated - Story 139155 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The first interview was a blur. Jasper, his voice ringing with a newfound vigour, spoke with precise eloquence, and he felt a thrill, a deep engagement with the process. He watched the interviewers. He felt the weight of their gaze, their attention. The pressure, the tension, fueled him.

He was going to call his friend, Finn, later to congratulate him. It was a lie. He didn't want to offer congratulations. He wanted to dominate. He wanted the role. He knew Finn was also competing. The thought itself spurred him to look for his next step.

He replayed the interview in his mind, dissecting his responses, identifying areas for improvement, preparing for the next round. He would need to be stronger. He would need to be sharper. He would need to be the best.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion stimulated. During extraction, it was fed through Gemma4-31B and its hidden state activations were captured at 11 layers.

The mean activation across all 1,000 stimulated stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the stimulated emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
