I’m personally inclined to believe the “who is similar to Kaj” hypothesis, but of course my understanding of Claude’s behaviour here is basically “witchcraft, I dunno”.
Its self-report of its reasoning is largely bogus, I think. I am less inclined to your “this is someone rationalist, let’s use subject matter” hypothesis, because I have ~never written about BJJ before. I could certainly believe that “rationalist + Finnish” strongly suggests you to Claude (it does to me!), but then “rationalist + British” would surely not strongly suggest me.

Yeah, it does seem to confabulate a lot more than previous Claudes that I’ve had do something like this. Lots of “Kaj has also previously written about...” on topics that I’m pretty sure I haven’t written about before.

That’s a good point.
