Given the size of the space and the fact that we already found one word it indicates that the probability is high enough that tons of other things like languages exist in that space.
It's like if I gave you a lottery ticket and you won. The lottery ticket is more likely to be rigged then you actually winning. Or in other words, the fact that we even found a secret word is indicative that there's a lot going on in the unrewarded space.
- Jweb_Guru 4y agoThe word wasn't selected randomly, though, so it doesn't tell us much about the broader unrewarded space. And there's a fair amount of evidence that (1) the tokenization of the word includes a bunch of syllables that correspond to the Latin names of birds, and (2) this same technique doesn't work with other reproduced nonsense text (i.e. using the nonsense text produced when asking about workers working in offices gives you more nature scenes, not offices). This makes it difficult to argue that what is going on here is even a secret vocabulary, let alone a secret language.
