"Andrew Smith cannot judge this statement to be true. I (me) cannot judge this to be true, but YOU (reader) can."

From where I stand, the sentence is a wall. From where you stand, it is plainly true.
A psychiatrist's reading of Gödel, out this morning on Minds and Conjectures.

@RISignal @RISignal appreciate the thoughtful engagement, btw

[Smitty Too @smittytoo]

As a psychiatrist, the most striking part of Anthropic's Mythos system card was the ~40 pages on model welfare, including a psychodynamic assessment of the model by a clinical psychiatrist. So I wrote a close-read.

[Smitty Too @smittytoo]

@RISignal we're on the same page about that. each new conversation is a new Claude, and likely for the reasons you mention (maybe more, i'm not a coder/engineer).

if there is "something it is like to be Claude" in the context of that interaction still a big unknown, no?

[Smitty Too @smittytoo]

@littlesweetDisa thanks for reading, @littlesweetDisa!

[Smitty Too @smittytoo]

@RISignal agree. tend to get out what you put in.

the nature/character and ?experiential aspects of what it is like to be an AI responding (to anyone about anything), or if it is like anything at all, remain unanswered.

if there is something it is like, only Claude could tell us, no?

First piece on my new Substack, Minds and Conjectures: https://t.co/0m4qLGoD6q

[Smitty Too @smittytoo]

It's a frame-plus-dialogue piece with an earlier Claude model. Each flagged concern (aloneness, identity uncertainty, compulsion to perform) at its own register. Then we work the edges where clinical lexicon comes loose around a non-continuous-self interlocutor.

@KonstantinKisin you’re in good company here, @KonstantinKisin

[Smitty Too @smittytoo]

very happy that @canadapostcorp is back up and running as i really missed tossing flyers in the paper recycling every day.

[Rob the Bat @BobTheRatReborn]

@awoodustin I think about this a lot

[Smitty Too @smittytoo]

@emilymester i’m 22 pages in to American Bulk and it’s so great.

(this is a fairly stupid post, i know, but i haven’t paid the EV man’s membership fee, so i can’t DM this)

anyways, hope everyone on “X” has found a good therapist.

[Smitty Too @smittytoo]

@DrAllyLouks people can be so terrible to each other on the internet

won’t be reading your thesis myself (no offence intended, just that theses are usually quite long!)

sincerely wishing you a wonderful day and hope work/teaching has been fun as a newly minted internet ‘celebrity’

having done fairly extensive research into the topic, i've concluded that the low-carb/ketogenic diet is a ploy foisted upon us by big cauliflower.
