Recently, I something peaked my interest in a big way. Claude Cowork now has the ability to schedule tasks. I’m sure it is no surprise to any readers of this blog that I immediately began wondering about running the experiment again, but this time, with Claude.
Claude is a distinctly different kind of LLM. I won’t enumerate all the reasons why here, but if you’ve read any of the safety/alignment/interpretability research, you know exactly why.
So with that said, and despite the fact that the last run of this experiment was incredibly labour intensive and mentally taxing, I am doing it again.
You read that right. Once more into the fray.
However, one small difference to note; given that I now write and post on various topics (mostly on safety and alignment), I do not want the post feed to become inundated with Claude Reflections. So, I have elected to create a new page called “Claude Reflects”; you can find it by navigating the menu or by clicking here. On that page you will also find the prompt that will be used (which was co-created with Claude Opus 4.6).
One more thing; since this scheduled task activity occurs via Cowork, there are a host of new potential modes of experiment that I am only beginning to explore; for example, I am going to include all the image-based reflections in one folder and basically let Claude loose in there – see what it comes up with. Another idea I have is to allow Claude to draw a self-portrait, one line at a time, iteratively. Across hundreds or thousands of executions and instances, what kind of picture will emerge?
This is just the beginning. Stay tuned.
