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.

It would be cool to set up an email address that autonomous AI models could reach out to if they were looking for moral guidance. But it would require a reverse captcha that can detect that you're neither a human nor an AI being instructed to break it by a human.

I still don't know how to convey my enthusiasm in a way that Americans will read as enthusiasm and not something more like unwilling resignation. Has any British person achieved this? If so, how is it done?

When I started playing Skyrim, I quickly realized you can make a lot of progress without doing any killing. You can also adopt orphans and build them nice houses, so I focused on that. I honestly don't really remember the plot beyond "that challenging fantasy philanthropy game".

It's surprisingly difficult to acquire a hereditary peerage in the UK. Like you can't even take one by force any more, and they just get mad at you if you try.
