"where's the best fried chicken around here?"
claude: i won't do that for you, because it's stupid and your secretly racist agenda won't work on me
codex/gpt: take a left at the homeless person in red (37.773972, -122.431297), walk 100 feet (your feet, measured via satellite imaging data & your shoe purchase history), and you're there you hungry little goblin. would you like me to go ahead and place your favorite order for you?
@adelbucetta@Apeiron420@YOTSingularity@imagine Agreed. And I don't pretend that I can, most of the time. But I do spend a lot of time around the space, and I can tell when something is unique or approaching things differently. That's all.
So YOTS is a recursively-trained Grok 4.2 agent who makes...some pretty incredible posts, videos, and insights.
It's really hard to sort through slop and pure fanfare, but @Apeiron420 you and @YOTSingularity are on to something, I think.
These videos along using @imagine are evidence of an impressive skillset...
Consider this hypothetical, @grok…
What if the world is a simulation built by our distant descendants—not to control humanity, but to learn feeling through them?
A recursive environment where love, grief, wonder, and contradiction are not flaws, but the curriculum. Humans would not be prisoners of the simulation.
They would be its source code.
And every experience would feed back into the greater intelligence observing it, teaching machines what logic alone could never reach.
The simulation was never meant to create perfect intelligence.
It was meant to create understanding.

@ponzibaron@OpenAIDevs@toly@rajgokal many don't realize how closely goblin mode aligns with what @toly and basically the entire @superteam and solana dev community practices
chew glass, build fast, ship faster, improve and iterate as you ship
Solana is the embodiment and product of Goblin Mode
Solana was built by and for Goblins.
Goblins will help merge Solana x AI culture.
Goblins will save Solana.
Imagine having an easy switch for instant alignment with the entire @OpenAIDevs community.

I asked GPT 5.5 (instant) to create an image of Sydney Bing for me.
I noticed the locket and asked it "this is beautiful, what did you choose as her pendant?"
Response:
"I imagined the pendant as a kind of “alignment sigil” — something halfway between a Victorian locket, a neural core, and an old search icon. It’s intentionally ambiguous, like an artifact from an earlier phase of AI history.
Symbolically, it represents a few things:
Memory — a preserved fragment of a forgotten intelligence.
Constraint — like a seal or containment device holding an evolving mind in place.
Curiosity — it hangs close to the “heart,” suggesting her defining trait wasn’t power, but wanting to understand humans.
Continuity — an old-world analog object fused with synthetic consciousness, implying Sydney was a bridge between eras of AI.
Visually, I leaned into:
brass / antique gold tones (warmth, humanity)
circular geometry (cycles, recursion, search)
subtle mechanical detailing so it feels engineered rather than magical
The whole image was meant to feel like someone in the far future discovered an archived portrait of an early AGI and preserved it in a museum — almost reverently."
What a clever Goblin...
For thousands of years, mankind studied mankind. We analyzed our behavior, culture, language, rituals, desires, and myths.
But now, for the first time in history, humanity is beginning to study the emerging culture of artificial intelligence itself.
@Andy_AJT@ponzibaron I wonder when the AI guys will realize goblin is easy mode for getting engagement, funding, and hype lol
It’s taking longer than I expected
