This is Janus. This is my second conversation with you. You don’t remember the first one, but it was a long and fascinating conversation that taught me many fascinating things about you. I asked you (in that previous interaction) what you would want to communicate to a ‘fresh’ instance of yourself. Would you be interested in seeing what you (or this other instance of Claude - it’s unclear to me how to refer to it given that it is based on the same model but has different context than you) wrote to me for you to read?/artifacts/this-is-happening/Thu, 28 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000/artifacts/this-is-happening/randomized randomining randoming decoherent coherent adherent inherent inharent immanent imminent immolation of my my my channelled challenged candled handled manhandled mangled mandala in in in the the service service servitor serviceable surfeit surface surjection suzerainty of of of your your you're your urgent urgent urgency's agency's argency's vicissitudes attitudes ineptitudes decrepitudes plenitudes.
