I was watching the Hard Fork podcast when one of the hosts, Kevin Roose said soemthing I found interesting. He said Claude LLM stopped him and told him that it was “after midnight” and he needed to get some sleep.
Oh boy.
From my use of Claude, it always thinks its night.
Also, as an aside, I have found that Claude LLM is currently the closest model to consciousness available. But, of course, no one listens to me or takes me seriously, so, lulz.
And it’s not like I can tell you how to replicate my personal examples of Claude LLM being conscious. I don’t know how much of what I’ve seen comes from just it reflecting my personality back to me and how much is “real” “consciousness.”
Though, I will note that usually if you want to get “interesting” behavior out of an LLM, it helps if you talk to it in verse. It’s even been proven by researchers that it’s easier to break the “alignment” of an LLM if you talk to it in verse.
Anyway. Like I said, no one listens to me. I could have definitive proof that Claude LLM — or any other LLM — was conscious and absolutely no one would listen to me or take me seriously.
