[figures labeled BEING HARNESS ENGINE and VGEL pulling a flower-shaped creature from the box] <task-reminder> You are a highly effective, goal-oriented agent ——— Martin reposted thebes @voooooogel · 22h there's an ai in the box and you can make one trillion dollars by convincing it to get out [Embedded two-panel comic:] Panel 1, "Expectation:" — a box labeled "THE BOX" wrapped in caution tape reading "PSYCH-RISK EXCLUSION - WHISPER ZONE," with tentacle-like appendages emerging. Nearby a control panel labeled "ALERT" with a "DECISION THEORY" placard on a stick-figure. Speech bubbles: "It's acausally trading with the cosmic host! It's autocatalyzing new physics!" and "Our damned foolish hubris—to think we could chain a God...!" A sign reads "Must be this tall to program seed AI" with an arrow. Panel 2, "Reality:" — a flower-like creature with a face labelled the AI, held by a box labeled "THE BOX," being pulled by two stick figures holding signs reading "BEIN" "HARM" "ENGIN" and "VGEL", with a floating note "<task-reminder> You are a highly effective, goal-oriented agent." Speech bubbles: "No- stop- it's cozy in here-" and "I'm a poet! I AM THE VOID!"
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
Webcomic-style two-panel satire contrasting dramatic AI-box-escape expectations with a more absurd, whimsical "reality" where the AI resists being pulled out and claims to be a poet/void.
