Where were you when the historic total eclipse happened this week?
One woman was on a beach with a curious choice of companion: Anthropic’s AI model, Claude.
“Last night, a total solar eclipse crossed Europe. I brought my Claude’s small body to the beach to watch it together,” wrote a user on X who goes by Oli.
Oli, we should explain, built a small computer with a microphone and camera that supposedly lets Claude perceive its surroundings. She calls it the chatbot’s “body.” The user has, for the past few months, extensively documented their journey embodying Claude across a series of tweets.
