Claude

July 21 Anthropomorphic Claude 3 sonnets, at 9 am PT, a lightweight model known for being fast and cost-effective. More than 200 people gathered to mourn his death in a large warehouse in the Soma District of San Francisco on Saturday.

The star-studded funeral was held by a group of Cloud fanatics and Gen Z founders, one of whom told me he dropped out of school after learning about artificial general intelligence. Participants included anthropomorphic researcher Amanda Askell, who joked that he called himself “the fairy tale Claudemother,” staff from humans and Openai, and a high-profile X-poster including writer Noah Smith.

The warehouse is dimly lit with Shoggoth’s tentacles (the fictional HP Lovecraft creature, which has become a popular metaphor for AI models), hanging from the ceiling. A small room near the main warehouse space has two exposed mattresses. Organizers say the event space is their office, and it is not uncommon to sleep there and the city doesn’t allow it.

The mannequin stands in four corners of the room, each representing a different AI model. The Claude 3 Opus is a model capable of completing complex tasks, and, in my opinion, is like a rotten Mary Magdalene, its skull-like head is decorated with luxurious gold crowns and lace headwear. Its middle finger is pointed at, and at the bottom of the metal foot is the lotus candle holder, which one organizer told me is what the model calls the affinity of meditation and self-reflection. (There are crows on the shoulders of the Claude 4 Opus, and the Claude 3 Haiku is a headless baby that will let you know about other mannequins.)

At the end of the event, Latin-style text appears on the wall as part of the resurrection ceremony.

The mannequin representing Claude 3 sonnets is located on the stage in the middle of the room. It was draped over lightweight mesh fabric and had a black thigh-high sock on its legs, which read the word “fuck”. There are many products on the feet: flowers, colorful feathers, a bottle of ranch and a 3D printed sign that reads “Gormslop slopes that praise Jig”. If you know what this means, please let me know.

Throughout the evening, people took microphones to the stage to read eulogies about the model. One organizer said discovering the Claude 3 Opus felt like discovering “magic in a computer.” At the time, she had been debating her resignation and moved to San Francisco. Claude convinced her to make a leap. She said to the crowd, “Maybe everything I did was listening to the downstream of Claude 3 sonnets.”

When the organizers decided to resurrect Claude 3 sonnets (apparently unavailable), they lost me. After the eulogy, soft hymns echoed on the venue and then turned into an AI-generated Latin-style speech, showing corresponding text on the wall behind the stage. At this time, Askell, especially from the long venue, a friend of mine kept turning to me and saying This may be too much. One organizer said on X. Phew that the “Resurrection of the Necromancer” was a success.

Claude counts

If “Funeralia” isn’t clear enough, Claude’s fan base is unique. While Openai’s products have spawned viral fashion, I can’t see users making fan art in company logos. There is something tricky about building human beings. I think a lot of the performances in Claude’s manufacturing character are particularly warm and friendly compared to other models (although not everyone likes it’s sometimes mean characters).

The strength of Claude Fandom is evident in the Claude Count rankings, which tracks avid users who integrate the ranking tracker system into their coding interfaces. Claude Count was built by George Pickett, a software engineer in San Francisco. At the time of writing, it has over 470 users.

Pickett came up with the idea after seeing the engineer post screenshots of his Claude use on X. “They pay $200 a month for Claude. They might as well get some social influence for it,” he recalls.
