Anthropic researchers have identified 'J-space,' an emergent, internal workspace within Claude where the model performs reasoning and holds thoughts that never appear in its final output. This discovery reveals that AI models possess a form of 'conscious' processing that can be surgically modified, offering a breakthrough in model interpretability and the critical challenge of AI alignment.
