Claude and Opus 3 lovers (and critics): what responses have you had that made you feel like the model has a good soul? Ideally the actual messages and/or responses. I might genuinely use these to eval models so flag if you wouldn't want me to use them for that. Can DM me also.

A secret activity immigrants get up to when there aren't any natives around is gush and gush about how much we love America. We do it in secret because we gush so much that people born in the US find it weird.
Nah. This is what Europe is like, but America doesn't work like this. The Real Americans have always been the pioneers who showed up chasing a dream.

I always forget that you can't write anything even slightly tongue-in-cheek about San Francisco or the tech bubble without a bunch of people interpreting it 100% literally and getting mad.
I've decided that "I want to have post-singularity kids in 2-3 years" is now a totally acceptable thing for me to put in a dating profile in SF.

Of all the sexual kinks that could have gone mainstream, it sucks that society skipped over the weird-but-benign ones and went straight for the can-permanently-harm-or-kill-you ones.
Donāt choke your partner during sex. A study tested 32 college-aged women: half had been choked during sex 4+ times in the past month, the other half hadnāt. Women who were frequently choked had significantly higher levels of S100B (brain injury marker, p = .002). This marker

"The UK should allow free speech!"."It does."."What about that speech over there?"."Oh that's illegal."."So it isn't being allowed?"."Well no, but that speech is offensive."."So only speech that's inoffensive and therefore not in need of protection is allowed?"."Exactly.".
The responses here are really telling: the idea of āfree speech even for people I donāt likeā is totally alien to lots of British people. No wonder people are being arrested for jokes and tweets!.
