Original: The New York Times. . You should be nice to A.I. agents if you want their best performance. Our reporters also discussed Anthropic’s private meetings with religious scholars on A.I. consciousness and how to make Claude “good.” https://nyti.ms/4dX5szJ

The New York Times reports that being courteous to AI agents may yield better performance, and that Anthropic privately convened religious scholars to discuss AI consciousness and how to make its Claude assistant 'good.' The reporting touches on how politeness, ethics and even theology are entering the practical conversation about building and using AI systems.

Why now: Readers are drawn to the unusual framing that courtesy to chatbots matters and that an AI company is consulting religious scholars on machine consciousness.
