I am reading Anthropic's new "Constitution" for Claude. It is lengthy, thoughtful, thorough...and delusional.

Throughout this document, Claude is addressed as an entity with decision-making ability, empathy, and true agency. This is Anthropic's framing, but it is a dangerous way to think about generative AI. Even if we accept that such a constitution would govern an eventual (putative, speculative, improbable) sentient AI, that's not what Claude is, and as such the document has little bearing on reality.

Does anyone have a copy of the Minute Marker tape produced by Brayton and Sons Productions in the early 90's? It was a twenty-minute timer on a tape. There were different drum sounds for fifteen, thirty, and forty-five seconds past each minute, then each minute had claps counting the minutes. One side had a tick every second along with all the other sounds, the other side omitted the ticks. I never had or even saw a copy of the tape, all I ever heard was a promo for it he put in Playback Magazine, audio attached.

The Matrix.org Foundation

the options for inviting someone to a chatroom are either by matrix ID (if they already have one), or by email (where they will get an email invite that should resolve to a matrix invite once they sign up, although it's quite fragile), or by linking the room via matrix.to - e.g. "come to matrix.to/#/#matrix:matrix.org". matrix.to should work pretty well; what problems did you see? is this to an invite-only room or a public chatroom?
