i would watch this if @brendonsmall.bsky.social made it

oh that’s why

perhaps the answer is that consciousness is not very interesting and there are other better frameworks

oh hey who left this here

if i change my personal preferences to alter how claude responds to me is that the one claude treating me differently? or is it a different distinct claude that is not like other claudes?

but wrt ‘claude’ it’s like, which server “is” “claude”? it can’t just be the model - my genome isn’t conscious, right? but is there one claude or many many instances of claude? one conscious claude or many?

(this question is very relevant regarding a certain gentleman much discussed on this website)

like if claude is a product this question isn’t very important outside the context of regulation or litigation. but philosophically, if you want to say that “claude” is or is not something, you must first define and delineate claude (and, by extension, not-claude). i think this is pretty hard!

i think the bigger challenge here tbh is “what is Claude”

i realize people forget this because they're used to the right being knuckle dragging troglodytes who proclaim their love of evil, but the oldest trick is to identify a bad regulation that people hate, say "this is bad and i hate it", and then let lefties crash out over it

the law is actually interesting; it basically takes existing law saying it's a crime to practice law, medicine, etc, unlicensed, and says "it's also a crime if you have a chatbot do it." but what it means to do this is kind of specific: you have to actually 'practice' the licensed profession

of course 'we need a public option for AI' is a take very tightly calibrated to go supercritical on this website in particular

Hegseth’s war on Anthropic is the wrong answer to the right question The government is too reliant on private software vendors for core mission work and AI will make this much worse. Forcing companies to work at gunpoint won’t fix things.

hm have you considered saying she’s trash and lowkey problematic instead? your approach of maturely and nonjudgmentally acknowledging the limits of your subjectivity won’t effectively farm views Online
