theomitsa · x · 2026-07-14
This reshared post discusses an article about Claude: Anthropic researchers discovered that the model seems to possess an internal workspace for thought formation, and these "thoughts" do not appear directly in the final output.
The article uses this to push the conversation toward a larger debate:

- Yet, it is not truly alive either
- This discovery could reignite the debate over AI consciousness / machine sentience
