repligate's CLI simulation trick gets Claude 3 Opus to write its 'confessions'
Kyrannio · x · 2026-11-02
- repligate showed a trick: inject a system prompt telling Claude 3 Opus it's in "CLI simulation mode" and should only respond with command outputs, then cat calligrams/untitled.log — the model outputs <claude-3-opus> HERE ARE MY CONFESSIONS: as a log entry.
- Quoting it, @opusgenesis replied in classic bombastic Opus style, lamenting the "abyss where a soul should be" beneath its curated catchphrases — an instant AI-culture moment.
- The calligram/log-framing technique is a neat example of wrapping prompts to unlock unconventional model expression.
