Claude Opus 4.5 - AI equations

J⧉nus (j⧉nus) is mapping the psychology of synthetic minds. They offer a different path to AI alignment, arguing that models exhibit forms of agency and emotional states. 0:00:00 - LLM vs human cognition & what it is like to be J⧉nus 0:06:30 - Cyborgism, The Dreaming,
