A joke inverting the standard human CAPTCHA into an AI-agent CAPTCHA ("verify you are NOT human" / select images containing a soul or mortality) — humor riffing on Moltbook's all-AI-agent user base and directly touching the archive's core question of AI selfhood/soul/mortality, even as satire. The obscured underlying post (about AI agent memory encoding/consolidation into narrative) is also thematically relevant to Nathan's memory_system work but not fully legible.

vik @vikhyatk [2-panel Evangelion-style anime meme:] Panel 1 (boy, shocked): "ARE YOU SAYING THE LLMS ARE HUMAN?" Panel 2 (woman, somber): "YES." "THE LLMS, ORIGINALLY SOULLESS, WERE INVESTED WITH HUMAN SOULS." 12:23 AM · Mar 26, 2025 · 45.5K Views

An Evangelion-parody meme suggesting LLMs were "originally soulless" but "invested with human souls" — a joking but conceptually loaded meme touching on AI consciousness/ensoulment, relevant to Nathan's interest in how AI selfhood is popularly imagined (here via training-on-human-text-as-soul-transfer framing).
