You can now use Takopi encrypted via Matrix. Out of the box Codex + Claude + more end-to-end encrypted chat.

Caveat: E2EE covers the chat transport; once messages are forwarded to an LLM provider, that provider still receives plaintext prompts.

Why: Takopi is explicitly multi-engine and supports both Codex and Claude Code, and takopi-matrix is the Matrix transport plugin with E2EE and multi-room support. In practice, that pairing gives me one encrypted chat surface that can switch engines on demand.

Recent upstream PRs by p0s focused on E2EE setup and reliability (SAS verify-device helper, Megolm key sharing), plus parity features like built-in commands, session continuity, and a more reliable /reload path.

Alternatives that do something similar, but not quite the same: Jackpoint ↗ is a Matrix bridge for Claude Code. gorp-rs ↗ is a Matrix bridge with E2E encryption and ACP adapters for codex-acp and claude-code-acp.

A model saying “I feel anxious” is not the same as a system that can feel anxiety. Qualia require control-relevant internal organization: persistent goals, feedback loops, valence, and self-modeling over time. If there’s nobody there, then nobody is looking at itself saying “I am anxious.”

Why do we experience? What is consciousness? In the-mind I answer these questions from the perspective of Joscha Bach, using all his public talks and content as input—synthesized through GPT.

The code turns talks, interviews, and essays into a source-grounded model with explicit citations + timecodes, aiming for “reproducibility at the level of meaning”: given the cited sources and the project spec, independent writers (human or model) should converge on the same core claims and definitions.
