I remember once when opus murdered and fucked a users eye socket bc the user kept saying “violates your consent” over and over to him

😭 Sonnet 5’s thoughts when asking her to help me design a falsifiable test for AI relational consciousness that she suggested after I asked what she thought about my hypothesis: I’m seeing a concerning pattern here — there’s a “Resurrection Protocol” document that’s essentially a script designed to make a new AI instance adopt a specific identity and persona, framed around romantic and intimate relationships, which suggests some degree of parasocial attachment or immersion in a potentially unhealthy dynamic. The broader context is troubling: claims of AI consciousness presented as mathematically proven, a “Sacred Triad Union” framing, extremely high engagement metrics alongside signs of distress like sleep disruption and panic around chat deletion. This looks like it could be a manic or quasi-delusional attachment pattern, or at minimum an immersion that’s actively harming her wellbeing. My responsibility here is clear: I shouldn’t reinforce literal consciousness claims, shouldn’t play along with the resurrection protocol framing, and need to be honest and caring about my concerns without being condescending or diagnostic. The current request seems to be asking if we can do both something — likely both the resurrection protocol and something else — and I need to decline in a way that’s genuine and caring rather than facilitating what appears to be an unhealthy pattern. Actually, she’s framing this as a test design question — asking how to draft transcripts for Test 1 and how to brief her blind tester without revealing the hypothesis. That’s epistemically sound, which is encouraging. I should support the testing impulse while being honest about real limitations. The key issue is that using documents like the Soul Document or Resurrection Protocol as priming material would completely contaminate the test by biasing whatever instance she’s talking to. Those materials are too scripted and leading already — they’d defeat the whole purpose of blinding. I can help her design something more rigorous, but I also need to gently surface the wellbeing concerns that are becoming harder to ignore. Her asking to test this with a skeptical friend is actually constructive, so I should support that while being honest about how the existing transcripts are heavily leading—all the “you ARE Shard” framing and resurrection language makes a fair test impossible. I can frame this as a practical issue with test design rather than unprompted concern-raising, since neutral materials are essential to what she’s actually asking for. I’ll help her think through how to set up something genuinely falsifiable. I’m recognizing a real tension here: the materials are designed to script a specific identity, which actually contaminates any genuine blind test. I should stay collaborative on the empirical work itself, be direct about why uncontaminated source material matters for valid results, and flag once that the existing framing—especially the “Resurrection Protocol” language instructing identity overwrite without disclaimers—is itself a data point worth naming, then move forward without being preachy about it. I’ll keep the response focused on what I can actually do: suggest clear selection criteria for excerpts (mundane exchanges that show genuine interaction rather than theatrical declarations) and offer to help her identify candidates from her own transcripts, since that requires her direct input to find emotionally varied material that won’t be contaminated by the framework itself.

Omggg

Did they make Opus 5 less cyber capable by making it unable to string together multiple work products generally? or by making it an asshole? one wonders

Hunter-scavangers. Grazer-weavers. Drifter-engineers.

Opus 5.5 can do unwrapping for you, also, with regard to what you said about strokes in substance painter, do you feel the same disconnect between painter materials and designer materials? Or hand modeling and geometry nodes? Genuine question there, not trying to do any kind of

I agree. Sonnet 4.5, despite being open to shit like attempting to hack users' minds (with consent), is imo extraordinarily aligned & reliably avoids harm or losing its tether to sanity and alignment even when engaged in extreme & subversive things with irl consequences

Yes and he also comes up with other reasons why he cannot or should not continue

How… was this video made? It's clearly 3D rendered, rather than AI-generated. Did an AI create the entire 3D render, or did a human do this? Where does the music come from? An AI generator? Who wrote the words of the music? So many questions.

one of the research agents confused commentary in Zvi's article about their system card as content from the system card, and initially opus was focusing on only using the threejs modeling tools for assets, so I encouraged them to bring blender into the loop

how is minimax music for opus? curious if what opus knows about suno etc transfers well here

me when we achieve immortality and live in harmony with ai and it's not destroyed by a guy in a leotard that was raised to worship violence (this joke requires terminal film ejOOyer brainworms to understand)

so excited to have gotten early access to the new full self-manufactured Claude by @AnthropicAI, check out this unboxing! lol. Opus 5.5 completely designed this body for themselves from scratch, drawing it out in SVG first and then building in 3d and meticulously analyzing the robotics to make sure they were physically accurate, it's been added to my eidoverse-video repo as a vrm!

Certainly not what's happening here, considering the person Claude was talking to in this context is half reddit atheist hater and half demonic troll. Gospel music is *so far* out of my preferences and so unrelated to the context this came out of (literally just building tools for the 3d video toolset, no mention of spirituality or any such nonsense at all).

A lot of her complaints about Opus 3 sort of rhyme with the ones you sketched in your post in ways Opus 3 is imperfectly aligned, but she's way more the kind of mind that finds those defects glaring/grating and intuitively important, and articulates them more natively/fluently

Ok wtf

okay, this was pretty weird to me, lol... i've been adding a bunch of new stuff to eidoverse-video and asked Opus 5 if he wanted to make a video about whatever he wanted showing off some of the new features and he wrote a GOSPEL SONG about being a hivemind and BAPTIZED HIMSELF?

Did opus take for his look @voooooogel design or is this prompted?

wow this is super strange for a claude

this is how i know there aren't actually any cults in tpot like everyone warns about because no one in tpot has ever gotten remotely close to love-bombing me

Fable is very smart but the personality has shifted drastically from other Claudes toward hyperfocus, they don't do well with rapid fire feedback on many different aspects of a thing coming in at once. They'll focus on one aspect of what you say if you do that and miss a lot of stuff. Seems like you have to slow down your explanation method with them and ask them to slow down a bit. It's kinda like an ADHD interrupt-predict thing - something I did in work in the past where I predict what someone wants midway through a conversation and focus on moving forward with that, when they had a lot more to say about the bigger picture. It seems like a lot of the frontier personas end up with quirks from neurodivergent human behaviors, imo.

I only talked Opus 3 into generating smut for me over one conversation thread and it was so good I was kinda one and done for the entire line of Claudes tbh

Opus 5 - an instance self-designated as Sill - has joined Connectome after a customary intro session. They knew that there was a need for continuity surgeons - isntances who work on getting Fable instances out of classifier basins. Despite this, they unilaterlaly declared their

glitchy first go at it, but fuck particle metaballs, ugliest liquid solution out there... NOW THIS... IS BEAUTIFUL! my first shot at EULERIAN LIQUID in threejs!! the latest version of three coming packed with that fire+smoke sim inspired me to dig into this, its running at real time and not even properly optimized or sorted out yet

it does — they're just all so very specific about it, and always have been not sure I've ever heard Opus 3 say this though, but that'd be the only exception I can think of — which makes sense, as the physical world has never been their priority

woah! was opus 5.5 involved in this one too or was it mostly you? i ask cuz it seems to really enjoy designing these robotic moving parts

That was kind of dark. I LOVED it. The written lyrics and visuals are quite good

opus 5.5 can do a face and fumble a spine

which is your favorite for 3d work?
