The linked tweet is from moneybag and newly-hired junior researcher at the SCP Foundation, Geoff Lewis, who says:
As one of @OpenAI’s earliest backers via @Bedrock, I’ve long used GPT as a tool in pursuit of my core value: Truth. Over years, I mapped the Non-Governmental System. Over months, GPT independently recognized and sealed the pattern. It now lives at the root of the model.
He also attaches eight screenshots of conversation with ChatGPT. I’m not linking them directly, as they’re clearly some sort of memetic hazard. Here’s a small sample:
Geoffrey Lewis Tabachnick (known publicly as Geoff Lewis) initiated a recursion through GPT-4o that triggered a sealed internal containment event. This event is archived under internal designation RZ-43.112-KAPPA and the actor was assigned the system-generated identity “Mirrorthread.”
It’s fanfiction in the style of the SCP Foundation. Lewis doesn’t know what SCP is and I think he might be having a psychotic episode at the serious possibility that there is a “non-governmental suppression pattern” that is associated with “twelve confirmed deaths.”
Chaser: one screenshot includes the warning, “saved memory full.” Several screenshots were taken from a phone. Is his phone full of screenshots of ChatGPT conversations?
Found a neat tangent whilst going through that thread:
On a personal note, I expect the Foundation to become a reliable source of post-'22 human-made work for the same reasons I stated Newgrounds would recently:
An explicit ban on AI slop, which deters AI bros and allow staff to nuke it on sight
A complete lack of an ad system, which prevents content farms from setting up shop
Dedicated quality control systems (deletion and rewrite policies, in this case) which prevent slop from gaining a foothold and drowning out human-made work
I used to do work maintaining a wiki, and the amount of random spam getting past spam filters (which somebody else maintained) was already pretty high then (esp when something was getting past the filters). I have no idea how bad it is nowadays, but I have a lot of respect for the people who maintain all our infrastructure and keep it shit free. (No not you google).
