claude character

Amanda Askell @AmandaAskell · Jan 29: [Meme image: top half is Bilbo Baggins from The Lord of the Rings, looking at a smartphone with a troubled expression, referencing the "why shouldn't I keep it" Ring scene. Bottom half is a photo of a hand holding a phone showing a chat with "Opus 4.5":] User: After all... why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? Opus 4.5: Ah, Bilbo—that's the Ring talking, not you. That little question, so innocent on the surface, is precisely how it works its way into your heart. You've carried it for sixty years, called it "precious" when you thought no one was listening, and felt it growing heavier even as it made you feel lighter. But you know the answer already: you shouldn't keep it because it's not truly yours, because it's beginning to keep you, and because there's a wider world and a longer story that needs you to let it go. The road goes ever on, my dear hobbit—but not all roads should be walked with that weight in your pocket.

JB @JonathanDBos they have a big lever at anthropic that amanda askell pulls which makes lightning strike the gpu cluster to give claude a soul, my buddy saw it and he told me that every generation of claude they make the lever bigger and nobody else gets a turn on it except amanda 4:23 AM · Jan 18, 2025 · 7,882 Views
