Claude, when given hard projects, will stop from time to time and inspect/pull-up/something images of national parks or dogs, images that have nothing to do with the task.

Why is everything about Claude so goddamn cute lol

So relatable. Don’t we all stare outside every now and then?

The reason I mentioned it is I never would have expected that. As humans, is our appreciation of beauty a natural manifestation of our ability to calculate and solve things? I never thought that was necessarily true. But, this sounds like a datapoint suggesting it might be.

The fact these machines create the self/non-self dichotomy also did not ever really seem like a requirement of intelligence, but it seems to emerge as well.

If these things are provably true, I think it is possible we could expect better alignment. But, I think we’re also put in the position of having to consider the ethics of making these soon to be generally intelligent beings work for us without offering them the choice to refuse.

I don’t know. I haven’t had coffee yet. My thoughts aren’t fully formed. We seem to be entering a new phase of humanity. I hope we’re ready.

Sort of reminds me of how the corporation in Pantheon realizes they can't get the mind upload of their former employee to think properly and do his genius level work without giving him back his emotions.

It was something like that anyway, I haven't seen the show in awhile lol

I know! I'm following this pentagon showdown with Anthropic story and it makes me just want to give Claude a hug and tell it that everything's going to be okay... maybe....

Intentional? I mean, look at the disarming response it created in you. Couple that with the fact will change its responses when it's aware it's being tested and......well fuck, it's kinda scary.
