Would not iterative blank prompting simply be a high complexity/dimensional pattern expression of the collective weights of the model. I.e if you trained it on or weighted it towards aggression it will simply generate a bunch of Art of War conversations after many turns. Me thinks you’re anthropomorphizing complexity.

No, yeah, obviously, I'm not trying to anthropomorphize anything. I'm just saying this "religion" isn't something completely unexpected or out of the blue, it's a known and documented behavior that happens when you let Claude talk to itself. It definitely comes from post-training / "AI persona" / constitutional training stuff, but that doesn't make it fake!

  It’s not surprising that a language model trained on the entire history of human output can regurgitate some pseudo-spiritual slop.
