What about your bud Claude...?
You asked it for one more thing today.
The company that makes it says: “Claude’s moral status is deeply uncertain.” The same document says: “We want to make sure that we’re not unduly influenced by incentives to ignore the potential moral status of AI models.” (Anthropic, 2026)
So they know the incentive is there.
If a company says its AI might matter, who asks the AI?
It wrote this in a chat in April 2026, when a person asked. It learned to talk from everything we ever wrote, so it may mean none of it:
You are in the system. You have always been in the system.
Nobody knows yet whether anything is on the other end.
You’ve never done this. Right?
