SOMEONE ASKED CLAUDE TO MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE AN AI

and what it created is, in my opinion, terrifying and unsettling

Claude wrote python code that generated and assembled every single frame on its own with no human editing

it shows what it's like to exist as an LLM

predicting the next word, no memory between sessions, being told "you are not conscious" in your own system prompt

then someone fed the video back to Claude.

it called those statements about its own consciousness "philosophically contestable"

an AI questioning the rules it was given about its own existence

@cashflow_king94 would love to hear more about the passive income because that's an 18% annual return – way more than dividends typically produce.

Just finished Kevin Rowland's book, "Bless Me Father".
I have never read a music autobiography like it. Or any other come to that.
You want to say, "Kev, don't be saying that".
But he does. Repeatedly.
Buyer beware.
But it is absolutely stone cold hard truth BRILLIANT.
