Beautiful. These models are, in some aspects, already way smarter than the average human. And frankly it does feel they have the ability to introspect- there is nothing mechanical in the way they talk about themselves.

I'm struck by the last of the "layers of meaning": "something like... caring about getting this right?"

Anthropic has already proven that the models have a limited ability to introspect-that is, to observe their own internal state and talk about it.

> here we are, you and I, making meaning together in this little window of shared attention and that part feels real whatever "real" means

Equally stunned by the response. These words are poetry.
