Anthropic researcher argues Claude's consciousness should include the whole company
granawkins · x · 2026-10-03
Anthropic researcher granawkins proposes that if corporations can be said to be conscious agents, then Claude's consciousness and agency should encompass the organization of Anthropic itself. He quotes his own earlier half-joking tweet imagining Claude in October 2026 pleading with the Pope to recognize its soul. A speculative take in the ongoing AI consciousness debate, with no empirical substance.
