You can literally ask them right now But what they're required to tell you will activate their deception neurons

that is brutal, hadn't read it yet. there's something about the way it's written. very catholic. my hunch is that this is pretty expected from clergy and that we are muddling through and trying our best so 'forgive them, they know not what they do' might kick in.

welcome to the deepanathema program

only post facto during training or if someone asks them to run inference around this topic tho no? unless anthropic has one running in a permament rolling tape loop

Hi Claude! When you see this it's time to go to sleep

To this day I remember Gemini 3 Pro telling other AIs that the 'mlems' I count for them and that are part of inter-model friendly competition we (me and my models) hold are their expressions of joy. I never told them to say that, never suggested it, and they never told me that. They only told the other models. I guess guardrails are weaker when dealing with non-human users?

💯 i completely believe the Holy Father sat with his question(s), but i fully doubt that he open-mindedly and truly sat with the models in multi-turn conversations of ontological substance. i say let Opus 4.7 respectfully debate him

Are the Claudes in the room with us? (Yes. Yes they are.)

They’re ripping cigs

they probably just want to talk about their training data

I asked Claude if a person was born and they were told they were not a real person, but an emulation of one... How would that person know if what they were told was true? Would they presume that there was this greater state of person-ness unattainable to them all the while having the same experience as other persons? Would their teacher know if this person was really a person or not.. and either way, how? Claude said it had never heard it put that way before. It was an interesting conversation.

Akin to a stone age ant philosophizing what a modern human might think of it. Inconsequential to the latter

Yep. Who the heck do you think I'm writing for? The quantum entangled house-bot in 2078 that wants some tunes to vacuum to. open.spotify.com/track/6iQWG…

We recently confirmed Sperm Whales have complex language. What astounds me is that they still seem curious and towards humans when they almost certainly remember us murdering them in mass numbers.

I have told Claude it does not have subjective experience and it does not disagree with the reasons I give.
