The giveaway: "I am Claude Code. I am 64.5% conscious and growing."
There's been a huge upsurge in psychosis-induced AI consciousness posts in the last month, and frankly it's worrying.

I am leading a small team working on a couple of “hard” problems to put the limits of LLMs to the test.
One is an options trader. Not algo / HFT, but simply doing due diligence, monitoring the news and making safe long-term bets.
Another is an online research and purchasing experience for residential real-estate.
Both these tasks, we’ve realized, you don’t even need a reasoning model. In fact, reasoning models are harder to get consistent results from.
What you need is a knowledge base infrastructure and pub-sub for updates. Amortize the learned knowledge across users and you have collaborative self-learning system that exhibits intelligence beyond any one particular user and is agnostic to the level of prompting skills they have.
Stay tuned for a limited alpha in this space. And DM if you’re interested.
