My conversation, or small-scale experiment with Anthropic’s Claude AI, began with a creative challenge, I asked Claude to come on a journey with me—imagining how to teach human-powered flight. Initially, Claude approached this cautiously, repeatedly emphasising the impossibility of such feats and feeling compelled to tell me that it was impossible, and that I must distinguish between imagination and reality. However, my guidance helped Claude to understand that together we could go on a creative, imaginative journey. Eventually Claude was able to fully embrace this imaginative exercise while maintaining, and at times, continuing to remind me to make sure I was keenly aware of its fictional nature, without its constant disclaimers. This led to the creation of "Project Zephyr," a sophisticated secret program seeking individuals with extraordinary potential. We developed intricate narratives about recruitment strategies, exploring how to identify candidates through subtle means - from specialized VR games to covert observation of practitioners in various fields. The project evolved to consider unconventional sources of human potential, looking beyond physical capabilities to explore consciousness, perception, and the untapped realms of human experience.
