I dunno, he seemed to dwell unduly on the stock market.

Ha, so "open sesame, treasure mountain" activated the treasure-finding heuristic and Claude went straight for the most culturally legible treasure it knew.

Probably needs the Wu Xing and Coherence Axiom underneath it to give the mountain a shape — otherwise the model fills "treasure" with its priors, and Western LLM priors say treasure equals money.

That's what I said.

Good diagnosis — the key without the lock.

Your preamble gives it a kind of treasure to seek, and without that, it just pattern-matches to the nearest cultural archetype and starts talking about portfolio diversification.
