"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.
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.
@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?
@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?
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.
@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.
@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’
