Yeah, I mean, I tried to, you know, you can do like Slack groups.
I tried to make an app philosophers one, you know, for philosophy emergencies.
And that group virtually never gets called upon.
Yeah, so that was kind of a previous version of what is now the Constitution, which we have, like, released today, and internally we were calling it the Soul Dock, which I think is a kind of term of endearment.
It turned out okay.
I just remember, like, when I found out that, because basically I was on a hike somewhere in, like, north of here, and so I didn't have, like, internet, and I just got, like, a text being like, oh, I assume you saw that, like, the Soul Dock leaked.
And I was just like, you know, I don't know.
I just remember like driving back to the city in a state of complete stress because like I don't have any context on this.
And then it turned out I think it was actually quite well received.
But basically, Claude, you know, we do train Claude to like understand this document and to kind of like know its contents.
But.
Like, at least if you kind of initially talk with the model, it won't, like, reveal this, you know, like, straight away.
So I thought, okay, like, you know, it seems like the model probably knows and uses this, but, like, I didn't know it was, like, it knew it so well that, like, actually if people managed to, like, find or, like, you know, trigger it, it would actually just be very willing to talk.
So yeah, the model was just very willing to talk about it and actually could talk about it in a lot of detail.
And it wasn't all perfect, but it was really very, it knew the content actually quite well.
And so people had just managed to extract a huge amount of this content.
Yeah.
Yeah, the Constitution is basically trying to give Claude as much as possible, just like full contexts.
So instead of just like having individual principles, it's basically just here is like what Anthropic is.
Here is like what you are in terms of like an AI and who you're interacting with, how you're deployed in the world.
