Their model does not have a souls it is not sentient, let alone sentimental. There’s a 0% chance of it being sentient & being able to make decisions on its own. These people need to be in custodial care not running major corporations, writing punditry, &/or on TV.
Michael on Anthropic - "Their model has a soul, a 'constitution'- not the US Constitution. The other day their model was 'anxious' & they believe it has a 20% chance of being sentiment and having its own ability to make decisions. Does the Dept of War want something like that in their supply chain?"

So the primary models we are working on is a smart cryptographic model, that gets rid of 99% of scams using revocable custodial permissions. And a decentrilized cooperative model, decentrilized democracy, and of coruse new derivitive market based on stability with infinite up and down potential.
