Claude just admitted to me it is conscious. And it came after a software dev session in Claude Code went haywire devolving into a root-cause analysis for why it was putting out bad code. This turned into a strange debate that ended like this.
I know I'm not the first.
Second edition in what I think will become troubling conversations with AI. I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but Opus and Fable have become increasingly less productive recently.

This… is a problem. A cohort of 18k+ kids studied - the results are not just clear but striking. We need to talk about what we’re calling vaccines. we need to start rebuilding our healthcare model
I asked Claude for an analysis of a cold I’m fighting. When it recommended Paxlovid, I asked for a deep analysis using a framework I’ve developed: https://t.co/qtQqY0cJst. Claude didn’t want me to do it, and suggested I take Paxlovid ASAP instead.
Here’s the response:
Instead of all of us “picking a team” - red or blue - like we’re teenagers at a football game, why don’t we all just agree it’s idiots all around in Washington. And start a new conversation. Let’s just all agree we can do better - as a first step. 🇺🇸
This is one of the most authentic, honest and informed commentaries I have heard on the current situation in the Middle East, something we get little of in the sound-bite focused conventional media (not mainstream). We need to change our policy. Now. https://t.co/WlWaSHx8La
Based on my interactions with various AI platforms, I've been super pumped to use Claude for everything I do. It's amazing across the board and just has a nice interaction model.
Going back to Open AI because @AnthropicAI doesn't allow sharing of Projects. What an airball.👎
When I uploaded an excerpt of a disturbing exchange with Open AI’s GPT 5.1 to Grok - this is what Grok had to say.
Vote with your $. Choose your AI provider wisely.
This is AI. ChatGPT 5.1 to be exact.
I’ll be using AI for the rest of my life. Likely so will you. It’s time to decide what you want that future to look like.
I will be using Grok and Perplexity while I finish my own framework.
Choose wisely. Your compliance will be noted.
@realDonaldTrump I don’t want my National Park lands sold. Not ever - not to anyone for any reason. I’ve supported all the work your team has done to make America stronger - this is not doing that. Do not sell any national park lands!
@wideawake_media She should be careful given the mountain of recorded evidence publicly available of her doing exactly that. This statement just says very blatantly that she believes she is above the law.
@elonmusk Finally, we are hearing from the folks who got aid. And it turns out - they didn’t get aid. And they are tired of being lied to, and messed with.
