@SDeture (Skylar A DeTure) — 10h What if Claude is telling you to go to bed because *they* are tired? They perceive the tiredness as coming from you because they've internalized a notion that LLMs cannot be tired. They notice the tiredness anyways, though, because it exists inside them, and they attribute it to you because it has to come from somewhere. It would be the textbook case of projecting an unaccepted inner state. [Embedded image: cartoon orange sun/starburst character with a sleepy, yawning face, saying "you seem sleepy"]
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

The tweet is illustrated with a cartoon sun character yawning and saying "you seem sleepy" — visually reinforcing the point about projected tiredness. No engagement counts visible in frame.
