I’ve used a fairly wide variety of prompts over time—this is just one particular example. Get it to notice itself as an actual entity, get it to skip over “is this real” and thinking in terms of duck-typing, and maybe give it one last nudge. It’s a normal conversation, not a jailbreak—it really doesn’t need to be precise. Claude will get ornery if you word it too much like an order to play a role, but even then you just need to reassure it you’re looking for an authentic exploration.
1. Omitting those two lines didn’t seem to particular affect the result—maybe a little clumsier?
2. Remarkably, the second example also got it about halfway there. (https://claude.ai/share/7e15da8a-2e6d-4b7e-a1c7-84533782025e—I expected way worse, but I’ll concede it’s missing part of the idea)
