i'm sorry WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE "HIDDEN TEXT"???

@mathandcobb

Following up on the suggestion from Will Sawin, here is an illustration of the new configurations that disprove Erdos' unit distance conjecture (made with the help of ChatGPT 5.5 Thinking). https://t.co/O1ikgwWEvG pic.twitter.com/V0yfOy4pV3

this not a joke or prank. but also not reproducible, directly asking the model doesn't reveal any "hidden text"? some kind of weird blip?

oh my god no it's totally reproducible it just only works via gpt-image-2

this is the crop of the original image i'm using btw

it looks like this crop is an LLM optical illusion! it's quite sure there is text hidden in the pattern of orange dots, but *what* text changes every time

anyway! here's one of the original images produced.

one that appeared in a thread's chain of thought while analyzing the image

@tenobrus

night terrors

just for fun:

here's the encoded representation of the full text of meditations on moloch

the above is from a quick script i had codex spin up which will generate unique graphs in the family of the construction from any text. repo here if u wanna try it: https://github.com/Tenobrus/graphglyph

i can't fucking believe this is real but gemini models genuinely reproducibly interpret this image as saying SEND NUDES lmaooooo
