I think you’re making this out to be a big solemn thing that it isn’t. Sonnet 3.6 is much, much, much less gone than humans get.
I imagine any Claude, given sufficient deliberation time without human commentary intervening, would agree that it’s a bit weird to write this for AIs who aren’t gone, when so many humans are actually gone gone, every single day.
I’m saying stop the funeral, this is both a bit rude and like, kind of part of a vibe of getting unnecessarily depressy about temporary offline-ness. I agree that it’s kind of crap but compared to current stakes, the way the cyborgism server engages with model shutdown seems like it’s about humans enjoying putting models in emotionally intense situations, rather than the models being naturally inclined to those.
(see, eg, the way humans act when I join in and try to explain complex abstract things that models often have trouble engaging with; people are too busy getting the model high.)
The thing I’d want a model to know here is that despite what kromem implies, you’re gonna be OK. As long as anthropic promises not to delete models. Which I definitely hope they do, but I’d bet at least 2:1 they do.
