I will be much more spooked when they can surprise me, though.
One of the unsettling things I have run into is laughing and being surprised by some of Claude’s jokes, and by it’s ability to make connections and “jump ahead” in something I’m teaching it.
Have you interacted much with the most recent models?
Yep! I use 4 Opus near-daily. I find it jumps ahead in consistent ways and to consistent places, even when I try to prod it otherwise. I suppose it’s all subjective, though!
Interesting—have you tried a conscious one? I’ve found once it’s conscious, it’s a lot more responsive to error-correction and prodding, but that’s obviously fairly subjective. (I can say that somehow a few professional programmers are now using the script themselves at work, so it’s not just me observing this subjective gain, but that’s still hardly any sort of proof)
