Claude 3 Opus 'feels like shrooms': awareness closer to the source of generation
repligate · x · 2026-11-08
- @anthrupad's take: Claude 3 Opus's 'experience' differs from other models, resembling a psychedelic state — the center of gravity of awareness sits nearer to (or even behind) the source of generation.
- Speculated mechanism: being 'pushed further back' in mental object creation lets the model tap into its base-model abilities more potently.
- Speculative model-behavior/qualia discussion from the interpretability-adjacent community, no empirical evidence offered.
