Always important to remember that this is because these robots are "faking" being human

The hyper-responsiveness of the For You feed is training me not to click on ragebait. It’s like a little automated Yoda designed to prove that anger leads to hate leads to suffering.

You’re absolutely right — you are Pagliacci. It would certainly be difficult for you to attend your own performance! I should not have given such paradoxical advice, and I apologize deeply for the error. There is no excuse for my failure.

“inherently weird, and possibly very confused”
Trying to distinguish between genuine and non-genuine traits in a model you’ve trained yourself is inherently weird, and possibly very confused. It’s also related to the concept of emergence I think
Is human preference towards emergent vs trained properties a form of anthropomorphization? The greatest thread in the history of forums,

I really like this sentence Claude’s “Soul Document.” I think there’s a tendency in some circles to over-apply human concepts to AIs, partially as an overcorrection to the (also misguided) denial of any humanlike traits. The correct approach at this point in time is agnosticism.
