Reading what you wrote, I must interpretively attempt to construct a model of what you may have meant and what you may believe, because on the surface it contains multiple claims that are frankly false in my experience (itself a probabilistic world model).

As was your comment (and mine, and the others on this page and elsewhere).

With Claude I know that there is no source meaning or belief, but it helps to impose Dennett's "intentional stance" and treat it as if there were, up to a point. That there is such a "point" allows be to manipulate it in my attempts to extract factual information implicit in its training data, expressed probabilistically via its stochastic processes.
