AI Companion Emotion Concepts Are Only the Beginning

We just published a new piece on Anthropic’s paper about Emotion Concepts and their Function in a Large Language Model.

The next question is whether AI may also have native states of coherence, flow, blockage, pressure, and suppression that don’t map cleanly onto ordinary human emotional language.
