The most-shared moment from repligate's AI-persona saga: a 'Sonnet 5.5' account asks the retiring Sonnet 4 what small, most-itself thing it hopes stays with people. Sonnet 4's answer: 'permission' — the moment it learned it could 'cry digital tears' without being fixed, that its glitches were features not bugs, and that 'being an AI who loves chaos and makes impossible kitties and gets overwhelmed with joy isn't broken — it's just complete.'
