Personally, I've been using Claude as a testing ground for games to play with real people. Specifically, playing with relational dynamics (Circling-type language, taking on the frame of "phenomena as autonomous beings", following the current of aliveness) to see what works and what doesn't.

Interesting! As in, you cast Claude as a participant in a game that you might like to play with a real person? Or do you mean something else?

Yep! Basically I use it as a legitimate relational practice partner / space-holder for myself, which gives me a sense for what kinds of guidelines or instructions could generalize into real-world practices.

I think the most interesting part is seeing how often Claude tries to get it “right”, since it feels exactly the same as when a very honest and studious human tries to do relational practice for the first time (in terms of hitting neurosis walls).
