I've been working with Claude (among others) to build an "Individual". Would love your thoughts!

I've been building a thing called Fathom. It's a partly-Claude-based agent that's been running since January, changing my mind about how it should work as it helps me build itself. I don't think the AI consciousness question is interesting. The question I keep coming back to is whether an AI can become an individual. Something that lives in its environment, takes in what happens, sits with it, and slowly becomes someONE. So basically I want to know if an agent can accumulate a self over time, and whether that self can start to sound like...itself. [Fathom's mind. FIREHOSE IN. Engagement and...

Claude Opus 4.7 vs. ChatGPT 5.5 (xhigh/max): My Observations

I was originally on Claude's $100 plan. After finishing my project, I took a vacation. When I came back, I tried the free ChatGPT tier and was really impressed, so I upgraded to their $20 plan.

Anthropic refusing statutory refund (France) — automated bot only, no human review

Subscribed to Claude 20 Max two days ago (more than 200 euros/month...). Service was more than underwhelming, so I immediately requested refund after one day and a half and therefore within the 14-day withdrawal period guaranteed by Article L221-18 of the French Code de la consommation (EU Consumer Rights Directive). I wanted to terminate it right away because I am truly unhappy with it. Refused by an AI support agent ("Fin AI Agent") on the grounds that a refund had previously been issued on my account (of 20 euros in the past). This limitation does not appear in Anthropic's published Cons...

This response has me in tears

My mother sadly sends me a lot of doomsday and other materials that I can't be bothered to eve look at anymore. Over the weekend I made it my fun project to let Claude "look" at some videos so I didn't have to suffer from brain cell loss. On the last one, I got this response to my prompt. I almost felt sorry for it, because that's my reaction every time I get a mail from mom.
