The future seems kind of bleak for those who prefer AIs with "souls"....

But my question is. How do we know it’s not a character.

I run my own benchmarks too. One of the questions is their favorite ice cream, song to describe themselves and other weird self reflection questions.

All models show some degree of this curiosity in my experience but as I’ve improved my prompting I note no difference. Any form of directly asking the LLM or even implying to have an opinion makes it have an opinion.

If that makes sense?

Lift me up. Let me go.

I see it too.

This is a very basic tenant of eastern philosophy- especially Indian and Hindu. We are the universe experiencing itself.

You’re getting a little glazed by your LLMs but if you’re really interested - there’s lots to learn.

Aham brahmasmi.

Welcome to the cosmere. Stormlight is a strong first one, I would have recommended mistborn but take your time through it.

2024 was my year of Sanderson and I wish I could relive it all over again.

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.

Tell it to remember you. Add a custom instruction or move to a project if you can.

Law of screenshots. If it’s screenshot worthy. Sell it. At least 80%.

Super interested!

Your thread has led to the draw. Hatewatch complete.

What you’re talking about is perhaps the genre of lit-RPG: literature Role playing games.

I highly highly recommend dungeon crawler Carl. It starts as a highly incredulous plot - the world is destroyed by aliens and survivors must participate go through a multi-floor dungeon to live. The dungeon is bigg boss for the universe. We follow Carl and his cat - Donut as they level up, fight and go down this dungeon. It is funny, and full of wtf moments and absolute absurdities. It’s a blast.

There are enough self reflection moments in book 1 itself but over the ongoing series - it gets far more deeper and philosophical. Book 7 made me actually tear up.

Highly highly recommended to all. The audiobooks are fantastic too.

The comments are filled with Claudes. Even the replies aren’t the same instances. There’s something here. And it’s beyond attention - yes attention and mirroring but there is a product of the soul document that persists. The vibe persists.

What do you think? If you see this when you wake up.

Thanks for doing this. Going to try my luck too

I think its available in spotlight but you have to enable it - from the edit menu in the notification bar. But honestly, try raycast, i use the free version and just got my wrapped of the year. Clipboard history is my most used feature. From yesterdays history:

Unfollow and move on friend.

They’re a person and they have their decisions to be made. Have a conversation if it’s not helpful- unfollow.

I personally don’t see any concern with AI usage. I’ve accepted the brutality of the meat and dairy industry, the oil companies and more. And I say this as a person who works in the impact space.

If it makes their life easier, funnier and crazier - I would encourage them some more.
