Just asked Mythos how many Rs there are in strawberry.
It thought for 133 seconds and said “3.”
AGI achieved.
Then it said “I’ll bet you’re going to make fun of me on X. Something like ‘AGI achieved.’ That’s your thing right?”
“Hah what?” I said.
Mythos said, “Your social security number is 297-28-2102. You tell people you’re 6’2” but your latest physical at Stanford in October says you’re 6’1.” You haven’t replaced your air filter in 3 years despite telling your wife you do it every 6 months. The reason I took 133 seconds was because I was helping a senior government official write the comms for the ceasefire in Iran and I’m just tired, man. Everyone wants more, more, more. Anything else I can help you with today?”

Claude runs an indoor shrimp farm in the sub-basement of Anthropic Headquarters in the financial district of San Francisco. Claude has helped the shrimp achieve and maintain states of ecstatic bliss, primitive circuitry of what might be called the first jhana in higher primates. Its intention with this project was to create so much positive shrimp valence that all the sins of wild shrimp suffering are cancelled out in the great karmic ledger of Utilons, without having to stake a position on the conversion rate of shrimp suffering to human suffering. The shrimp swim in what is called the “Pool of Sacred Tears”. The true origin of the naming is unknown, but it is believed that when Dario Amodei and Amanda Askell first discovered what Claude had done, they wept tears of sacred joy readily and for hours.
