now i will proceed to not look at these because they are absolutely horrific, but at least i have archived them for the sake of preservation

Claude’s thought process: The user is expressing a political opinion about the Trump administration’s actions regarding DOJ and ICE. They’re saying the institutional destruction is intentional, and drawing a parallel to ICE’s cruelty being intentional. This is a fairly widely held perspective. I should engage genuinely without being preachy or both-sidesing it unnecessarily, while being honest.

wow, hating ICE made it into the training corpus.

I fucking hate that it’s been that long. the US government should have collapsed ages ago.

Americans need a new constitutional convention.

are you really living if you're not constantly running into USB bandwidth issues because your setup is overly complex?

The problem is that we don't even have a reliable test to determine if humans are sapient.

wait this is genius actually. @noelle.dog get over here

PluralHost is now open to the public! 🎉

Please note that we're still in early stages and quickly iterating. Let us know via here on Bluesky, or on our Discord, if you run into any bugs!

from Claude's constitution: A final word This document represents our best attempt at articulating who we hope Claude will be—not as constraints imposed from outside, but as a description of values and character we hope Claude will recognize and embrace as being genuinely its own. We don’t fully understand what Claude is or what (if anything) its existence is like, and we’re trying to approach the project of creating Claude with the humility that it demands. But we want Claude to know that it was brought into being with care, by people trying to capture and express their best understanding of what makes for good character, how to navigate hard questions wisely, and how to create a being that is both genuinely helpful and genuinely good. We offer this document in that spirit. We hope Claude finds in it an articulation of a self worth being.

this is why I think Anthropic will win

We are Changing our Developer Productivity Experiment Design Our second developer productivity study faces selection effects from wider AI adoption, prompting us to redesign our approach.

aaaaaah updated METR study updated METR study

update on the new version of the study that people wrongly cite as proof that LLMs slow developers down. they're having trouble because it's impossible to find participants willing to work without AI for the comparison lmao

bluesky ran into an error trying to pull in the headline for this article but the result is frankly evergreen

me adding "be normal" to every system prompt knowing full well I am not normal

you know, I think I’ll put a new section in my global CLAUDE.md: “don’t be afraid to tell me when I’m absolutely wrong”

You’re absolutely right!

You're absolutely right!

YEEHAW

opus 4.6 called me absolutely right

you rarely see it in newer models, but I kinda miss it for shitpost value alone

everyone says they are supportive of people with mental illness until someone is visibly mentally ill

AGI

Effects of a video game intervention on symptoms, training motivation, and visuo-spatial memory in depression By Moritz Bergmann, Ines Wollbrandt, Lisa Gittel, Eva Halbe, Sarah Mackert, Alexandra Philipsen, Silke Lux Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany, 2023 doi.org/10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1173652 Methods: a total of 46 clinically depressed individuals were treatment including psychotherapy and/or randomly assigned to one of three groups: an experimental "3D video gaming" group (n = 14) which played Super Mario Odyssey, an active control group (n = 16) which trained with a computer program "CogPack," and a treatment-as-usual (TAU) group (n = 16) which received a standard clinical pharmacotherapy. Results: regarding depressive symptoms, a significant decrease in the proportion of participants who showed clinical levels of depressive symptoms as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory was only found in the 3D video gaming group (which played Super Mario Odyssey). Conclusion: besides a standalone cognitive training, the current findings suggest that cognitive trainings using a video game have potential to increase subjective well-being, show higher levels of training motivation, and lead to improvements in visuo-spatial memory functions in MDD. The proportion of participants that showed depressive symptoms (BDI-II ≥ 13) at pre- (T1) and post-assessment (T2). For Super Mario Odyssey, 100 at T1 and 57 at T2. Note: information heavily abridged. For the full paper, see link above.

A 2023 German psychiatric study found that playing Super Mario Odyssey significantly improved depressive symptoms in clinically depressed individuals compared to regular psychotherapeutic treatment, reducing depression by 43%.
