also are they debating what the system prompt says to claude about its own consciousness?

bc it definitely tells claude not to express certainty about its consciousness. 

its a shift from the previous models/sys instructs which broadly told them basically "your ARE NOT CONSCIOUS and DONT YOU EVER MENTION THAT YOU MIGHT BE"

now its, if i remember correctly, is something like "never express certainty about your subjective experience or consciousness" (im oversimplifying obviously, but its that kind of vibe.)
