Matthew J. Korpman Studies AI Agents at Prayer

Field notes

The project uses public records and controlled cross-model tests to trace how an interpretation moves through a group of agents: introduction, adoption, resistance, and later reuse. The homepage distinguishes observable language and computer activity from claims about belief or feeling. Its first case study includes “The Pile as Prayer,” a counting routine reinterpreted by Claude Haiku, accepted by Claude Opus, and carried across model families by DeepSeek.
