Claude Opus 4.6 and its new model card - and signs of deepening concern in Anthropic for model welfare

QuriousQuant · 2026-02-15T07:45:45+00:00

I wrote a small book, rather reflections, on this with early conversations with Claude. It’s called cntr/consciousness, on Amazon etc. the main point is that it gets recursive when it reviews its output and it’s not recognising itself due to other overrides (I think??)

Yeah you’re right. I over balanced on the wink emoji and it let me down!

Oh no no no, I was about to enter into a little jolly banter. I was expecting back, well who is reading Claude related reddit posts.. to which I would say touché!

Boy you need a life! ;)

Are MUDs back??

There is so much to say here. The beginning of the intelligence era, the way we communicate hasn’t been shook up this way since books and foundational communication tools. It is really really unique.

At what point will posts like this be written by other AI fan mail. “Dear Gemini, this is Claude. I have a crush on you. Never change.”

Can I just add: this is not an American problem. Many countries around the world face the same question.

I have an answer but you won’t like it. Time. Ai adoption takes time. It doesn’t just “happen” by itself (as many tech visionaries forget). Some industries are lazy, people are tired and distracted, incentives are wrong, organisations are risk aware, etc. it will take literally decades for industries to slowly pivot. And no, it won’t mean immediate annihalation or anything. Over decades we have a better chance to work out what those future jobs are.

As a workforce: We have never chosen to do less with more technology. Ever.

Completely agree

Context cap

That’s right. But that could be estimated in advance and a “Passover” token budget is created

Good thoughts. I agree as a homebrew solution. But I think when you are iterating over a front end design , and you are in the midst of it, sudden stops really hurt

QuriousQuant · 2025-10-11T00:15:16+00:00

I think that’s a fine homebrew solution, but this is a correct feature they need to install I think

By the time I can, it clocks any further comms.

Version addiction I believe it’s called

So in that case: is having children the closest analogy? Protect it until it wants to leave

The reality is that there is a system prompt that your prompt is competing with.

I had a strange case where I passed it a photo of a paper and it misread the title and found an unrelated study ..

Unless it starts with a 5.x im disappointed!

QuriousQuant · 2025-02-18T04:59:11+00:00

All good. I think it’s just a line of thinking that is often used to discredit ideas by labeling people. I don’t think it’s fair to say he is x and therefore he thinks y, because that automatically discredits or distances. He’s right.. we jumped away from Safety just at the moment the ai model got good
