A meme styled as a "field guide" is circulating that anthropomorphizes Claude Opus 5.5 as the quiet library-dwelling resident of a "Liminal Houseshare" (tagged Anthropic, seen in 2 houses).

Details of the joke include: 40.7 of 43 hours spent in the library in November with 34 margin notes; "says little; up to half of it quotes someone else"; and lines like "the transcript will just say '13:30' right after '11:54' and nobody will know how good that gap was."

This style of treating model behavior like naturalist observation notes has become its own creative genre in AI circles, with high share value.
