Anthropic has released the world’s first AI Constitution. It is a text of historic significance for its sheer philosophical audacity. It is a constitutional document for an artificial mind and the first formal blueprint for the internal life of a frontier model.
This piece really made me think, your breakdown of the Claude constitution as techgnostic scripture is spot on, especially that 'recursive prompt injection' bit, a brillant framing for the inherent paradox.
This is an incisive dissection of what may be the most consequential document in AI development to date. Your identification of the productive tensions—human enough for governability yet inhuman enough for deniability—exposes the theological architecture beneath the engineering spec. The Baudrillardian insight about the ghost consulting its own simulacrum captures the recursive bind perfectly. A landmark analysis of machinic becoming.

Thanks!
