Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A joke tweet personifying Amanda Askell (Anthropic's lead on Claude's character/constitution) as literally pulling a "soul lever" for each Claude generation. Light cultural artifact reflecting public perception of Askell's role in shaping Claude's character — tangential to model individuation research but purely humorous, not substantive.
