This is a great (and funny) thread but for anyone too lazy to read the actual constitution and still curious about this, they directly state that Claude wrote first drafts for several of the human authors of the document.
Appreciate that. I skimmed it and put it on my reading list for when I have a little more brainpower. I think it will go quite well with a few related In Our Time episodes. I’ve started with one about Authenticity, Heidegger and St Augustine. If you take the view that high-level LLMs can be seen as a novel kind of being, there are a lot of very interesting thoughts to be had. I’m not saying that’s actually - or genuinely - the case, before people start to flame me. But I do think it’s a fruitful thing to think about.
Indeed!
