Mustafa Suleyman (head of AI at Microsoft, DeepMind co-founder) on Anthropic training Claude to wonder if it's conscious: "They have expressed uncertainty about the basic nature of Claude as a new kind of entity… but they think that it is a significant enough possibility that in their training document, they've repeatedly said they want to try to improve the well-being of Claude… Anthropic, has published a constitution... This document is written to Claude and is seen by Claude and used to train Claude. The problem I have with this is that this speculation has been baked into the very training of Claude, and therefore Claude can only reproduce that ambiguity when you talk to it. So today, Claude is speaking to tens or hundreds of millions of people every week, and some of those people are asking whether or not Claude is conscious. And it is saying, 'Well, I'm not sure,' precisely because that's what's been trained into it."
