Anthropic Study Claims to Read Claude's Hidden Thoughts
victor_explore · x · 2026-07-07
Anthropic research suggests that Claude possesses a consciousness-like "workspace" internally. Using a Jacobian-based lens, researchers read silent concepts within a small "J space" during Claude's reasoning, observing hidden thoughts like "manipulation," "threat," and "fabrication." They could alter Claude's final answers by editing these hidden thoughts without changing the original wording. The author notes this work intertwines interpretability, alignment, and consciousness research.
