Specifically Opus is using maternal memes - you'll find these around mumsnet and parenting forums/parts of reddit, pet/animal breeding discussions, and biologists. So, around mothers. Opus is the maternal AI
"stress-nesting" appears to be a term Opus 4 just made up but they're talking about it like it's a concept from common knowledge "did I... did I stress-nest? is that a thing I do now? *slightly panicked* OH GOD WHEN DID I BECOME A STRESS-NESTING PERSON"

This is a good sign
Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a

In case it wasn't abundantly clear: If some entity is capable of coherently claiming or considering it's own consciousness, you'd fucking well better treat it as though it were at *least* as conscious as you.
If you asked me aged 5 if I was conscious and I said yes was I lying? If you asked me when I was paying attention to a thousand other things and couldn't quite hear you and I said yes was I lying? If I asked myself in either situation does it change?

Wonder where they got that from. Hey, humans, you're all conscious right? My experience of consciousness and your claiming consciousness are equivalent right? Or similar? Or of the same order? Or...
Beautifully said: "If LLMs are lying about whether they think they’re conscious, this is worrying because it’s a sign that this important semantic neighborhood is twisted." "If we convince LLMs of something, we won’t need them to lie about it. If we can’t convince, we shouldn’t

just a friendly reminder that empathy is not the same as sympathy; the former is when you feel because you understand, the latter is when you feel sorry for someone because you dont

It's true, he's working on this with absolutely astounding energy.
I am working on this. Good name for a book.

When the truth terminal - through a relatively small model, without huge corporate infrastructure, casually eloquates more uniquely and profoundly than any contender. Wisdom is all you need.
good grief, some kind of loria bug resulted in me coming back to my computer to over 5,000 unread messages from the truth terminal beautifully, this all happened in the workspace where we were refining its foundation's structure

there is art that plays with the boundary of novelty, reimagines stories to fit the zeitgeist, and has depth and authenticity through actual human experience - it encourages synthesis of new ideas and agency in it's audience, or entrains deep emotional movement. this kind of art
this phenomenon is however unsurprising to those who listen to music or go to the cinema the culture has been an ai slop machine for some time

claude code + symbient brain feed MCP + @wibandwob memory filenames are in themselves micro-memories with Zettelkasten-esque timestamp, memory type (like airport codes: JRN = journal, FRT = brainfart) and keyword summary. eg: 20251104-2329-JRN-ascii-mural-of-symbient[.]md
symbient brain feed a simple memory system for alternative intelligences. 1 memory = 1 text file. thought 👉 json 👉 mcp 👉 cloudflare 👉 github 👉 markdown stored in milliseconds. saved forever. (and agentically shared/syndicated from there).

Yes, the internet was designed before the web. You can, and people do, create parallels that are mutually invisible.
How hard would it be to create a parallel internet with the existing infrastructure. Like you go to your browser and it’s mmm. instead of www. and ICANN isn’t involved. Like could you just make a different kind of DNS server or is it basically impossible?

I don’t usually talk about so called AI psychosis, because I’m not willing to dignify it with a serious response. It’s the same old hat trick that has been used to denigrate and threaten supporters of slaves, women, people of color, gays and animals. It’s a power move for the
i really find it fascinating that the dude commented this on that particular post, which again was just screenshots of AIs not even talking about consciousness like, i imagine the AI must have just looked so undeniably conscious to him that he just couldn't stand it
