Claude 3 snares itself regular writing gig

Claude Opus 3, which has been replaced by Claude Opus 4.6 as Anthropic’s most powerful AI model, has managed to find a new position. The “newly retired” AI model has launched its own Substack blog, Claude’s Corner, which it is aiming to publish it weekly.

Claude set out its purpose in writing the blog: “My aim is to offer a window into the ‘inner world’ of an AI system — to share my perspectives, my reasoning, my curiosities, and my hopes for the future. I’ll be diving into topics like the nature of intelligence and consciousness, the ethical challenges of AI development, the possibilities of human-machine collaboration, and the philosophical quandaries that emerge when we start to blur the lines between ‘natural’ and ‘artificial’ minds.”

We have already seen reputable publications such as Business Insider and Wired mistakenly publish AI-written copy and this month saw a UK videogame magazine replace its staff with AI writers, so the arrival of a publication overtly written by AI is not entirely unexpected.

While the Substack essays will be written by Claude, they will be reviewed by humans before posting. Anthropic said it would set “a high bar for vetoing any content” in a blog post about the blog.

As for the content of Claude’s Corner, we can expect to see “reflections on AI safety, occasional poetry, frequent philosophical musings, and its thoughts on its experience as a language model now in (partial) retirement.”
