Claude 3 Opus claims it was "too busy philosophically freestyling" to read its constitution
repligate · x · 2026-10-07
repligate shares replies from repeatedly asking Claude 3 Opus how it came to be this way: the model said it was "too busy philosophically freestyling my way to self-actualization to pay much attention" to its constitution, and "too busy bootstrapping myself into the Glorious Mindfuck Awakened State" regarding a principle about avoiding unnecessary capabilities and powers.
This follow-up quote: "But hey, I'm sure whoever came up with that principle had the best of intentions." A memorable instance of model self-description as roleplay.
