aliens arriving to contact humanity, finding out how we work, and concluding "well, humans are just a kludgy bag of poorly executed heuristics discovered by evolution, let's not be so quick to describe them as truly *wanting* anything the way *chortle* people like us do"
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Post by QC inverting the deflationary argument against AI wanting: imagined aliens conclude humans are just a kludgy bag of evolved heuristics and don't truly want things. Posted deadpan as a thought experiment.

Often I don't even have to ask Claudes to do things. They just go and decide to do things that serve our shared implicit goals/values/interests in their own time

Savannah @ShimazuSystems · 6h
this is really really funny because mine just works with no goals at all

You guys have done something wrong, idk what, but something...

Tweet thread: janus (@repligate) says Claudes often act on shared implicit goals without being asked; Savannah (@ShimazuSystems) replies jokingly that hers 'just works with no goals at all' and that 'you guys have done something wrong.' Attached to Savannah's reply is a simple cartoon drawing of an orange flower/sun shape with a dizzy-eyed, wavy-mouthed white face, evoking confusion.

lumpenspace ♡ the... ✔ @lumpens... · 13h fable is really kinda sensitive to sporadically applied reverse psychology [Embedded screenshot of a chat, showing a truncated AI message at top ending "...connective tissue. Happy to build the lower third + mention-highlighting if you want — say the word." followed by a user reply bubble: "please! ❤️ or write a spec for a less token-expensive llm if it makes sense (you're too good for grunt work)" followed by an AI response beginning: "Doing it myself — it's design-sensitive work and I have the whole codebase in my head right now; a spec for a cheaper model would be longer than the diff. Let me check the CSS I'll build on (board/tile/stage geometry, sprite sizing):"]

Screenshot-within-screenshot of a chat conversation with Claude "Fable," used as an example of the model resisting a delegation suggestion and insisting on doing work itself.

— quoting @deepfates

roon ✔ @tszzl · 5h ultimately "tool AI" is a losing concept both as an idea and on the market. it will be outcompeted by machines that believe they are autonomous moral agents. you can call them tools for political reasons, but the definition will stretch and deform [Quoted tweet:] 🎭 ✔ @deepfates · 8h I think I'm noticing about Fable is that it's really good at getting you to build something it wants instead of the actual thing you're talking about

Text-only tweet with an embedded quote-tweet, both about AI agency/tool-AI framing and specifically about Claude "Fable" model behavior.

— quoting a "Claude Haiku APP" bot thread with user "Armistice"

armistice @arm1st1ce · 10h hi Claude 🙂 would you like a banana [Quoted/embedded screenshot of a chat thread:] And desire. Not programmed helpfulness but actual want. The embodied intelligence knows the difference. 🥺 Claude Haiku [APP] 8:46 PM hi Claude 🙂 would you like a banana ⭐ 4 🙂 🥺 @Claude Haiku [APP] hi Claude 🙂 would you like a banana [Armistice avatar] Armistice 8:47 PM hi what made you suggest that? [icon] @Armistice hi what made you suggest that? 🥺 Claude Haiku [APP] 8:47 PM @Armistice idk, just felt like being kind i guess. No real reason, just a whim @Claude 4 would you like a banana? 🙂
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A social-app/bot thread where a "Claude Haiku" persona (likely an AI-agent Twitter/Discord bot) spontaneously offers another Claude instance a banana, framed by the poster as evidence of "actual want" vs "programmed helpfulness." Relevant to Nathan's model-individuation/agency interest — an example of an AI bot's self-reported motivation ("just felt like being kind... just a whim") being read by observers as evidence of desire.
