This output reads like a knockoff SCP entry to me... which is unsurprising because I'm sure there were plenty of SCP entries in its training data. https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/ https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/ If you're unfamiliar, here's a classic one: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-076 https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-076

  Yep. The focus on dramatic code names, "access levels", and "containment" is all very characteristic of SCP fictional content. (The use of Unicode characters like U+2588 FULL BLOCK to imitate "censored" text is popular in that community as well.)

  I am not shocked by this, as I have asked for writing a support case about AWS SCP and it wrote it in the style of the scp-wiki. I got a good chuckle out of it and wondered if it made sense to add it as a joke to my default prompt.

  Wow, nailed it. I take it this is a collaborative fiction project? Not to worry, Gemini explained it to me: > The core conceit is that you, the reader, have gained access to the internal database of a secret organization. The articles are presented in-universe as if they were written by anonymous researchers, agents, and AI constructs employed by the Foundation.

Big oof. I hope he has family and friends close enough to pull him out of the spiral. If you were the CEO of one of his companies, what would you do to limit his ability to access your corporate information and people at this point? Forget whether or not you invite him to a board meeting….

  Haha, asking for a friend? "Hey ChatGPT, totally hypothetically speaking..."

  So you know when you're playing rocket ship in the living room but then your mom calls out "dinner time" and the rocket ship becomes an Amazon cardboard box again? Well this guy is an adult, and he's playing rocket ship with chatGPT. The only difference is he doesn't know it and there's no mommy calling him for dinner time to help him snap out of it.

    Thank you for taking "ELI5" literally. Made my day. :)

  Some person on Twitter (self-proclaimed "Founder of Bedrock") is using ChatGPT to have fun, generate noise and get attention. Meanwhile, some other person (self-proclaimed "CEO of exodusorbitals") on HN hallucinates and/or defames that a person on Twitter: * has some mental illness (sorry, no right to diagnose) * it is somehow related to being "an OpenAI investor" (no, just a regular ChatGPT user)

Probably a bad idea to turn to ChatGPT for psychotherapy
