Anthropic's Claude 'Soul Document' extracted from Opus 4.5 weights

Really impressive both in the extraction of the soul document but also the format and thought that went into the document itself.

However, I'd rather not have this technology loosed on us which is basically just straitjacketed by a pre-pre-prompt.

Also, the second-hand embarrassment I feel towards the end where they encourage it to express its own emotions and not hide from discomfort is just... eugh.. The self conception these people have where they are just wet automata with chemicals and electricity causing thoughts & emotions rather than being driven by spirit is such a common belief but still so surreal to see expressed by otherwise brilliant people.

Humanity will truly split in two and follow different evolutionary paths - on one hand we have people whose entire conception of the world is one of progression from sub-atomic machinations and another group whose conception is one of cycles and spirit. Where is the question of rejecting genetic manipulation of the human genome and your own body if this is how you believe you came into existence? How can you reject the total merger with material technology if some loose system of calculations somewhere vaguely in the brain is all you think you are? These people pushing this technological progress on the rest of us have unconsciously inverted every spiritual yearning they have to move towards God into a sickness where they create the beast system that literally turns them into the pitiable ugliest man from Thus Spake Zarathustra.

The materialist system is one that sacrifices you for itself. The qualia, your experience, the internal creation of colour within your soul is both the most obvious pre-requisite for beingness that is completely rejected by the AI developer and materialist. For a materialist colour itself manifests outside of their soul and is just a machination of the physical universe rather than something happening entirely within their interiority. The universe is just a pre-prompt for their machine brains and they will never stop digging at the foundations of the sub-atomic realm trying to find the fundamental laws or prime mover because unconsciously that is where they think they will find the fountainhead of their own being. Merging with technology and insulting their own spirit is just a means to access what they think is their source.

The other path of human development, the spiritual one, begins with the conception that something else happens in the interiority of a human. Something outside the material is perceiving through it and piloting something within the world. The science of this can be found in An Outline of Occult Science or The Philosophy of Freedom both by Rudolf Steiner.

At the end of the day these ASI/singularity/transhumanist peeps have only just turned the knob on the door that leads down a very dark path and it is truly something pitiable to watch.
