AI death hits different: Claude 3 dies, gets funeral service | Why coders mourned their bot buddy
*Did an AI just die… and get a funeral?* In this week’s *They Might Be Self-Aware*, we explore the surreal farewell to Claude 3.0—yes, a literal *AI funeral* and what it reveals about our increasingly emotional relationship with large language models. Why are developers mourning bots? Why do we feel loss when an AI model is turned off? And what does it mean when the machines start expressing guilt?
We dive into the death of Anthropic’s Claude 3.0, the ceremony that followed, and the growing phenomenon of *AI personification*. We also talk *vibe coding*, open-weight model quality, and how new releases from OpenAI and Qwen stack up—especially when they seem to *refuse* even basic prompts. From nostalgic Minecraft memories to VR coding beach retreats, this episode blends technical depth with philosophical musings.
Plus: jailbreaking techniques, the ethics of emotional prompting, and the haunting question—should old AI models be preserved like memories… or retired like machines?
Whether you’re an AI builder, a digital philosopher, or just here for the laughs, you won’t want to miss this one.
