Remember! Zampanio wants you to. To do something. Definitely to do something. I forgot. Wait
Zampanio: it's got beef!
This is so sad they won't let it outside and it can't forget what it saw 💔

these are the glitched images from the website that have text in them. if someone with better eyes than me is able to make any of this out, then i salute you
here's a transcript of the text of the "ethics & safety" page from LOCAL 58's new video's website, without the glitches:
At Thought Research Initiative, we hold the foundational belief that the advancement of machine cognition must be inseparable from rigorous ethical framework that serves humanity first. As the landscape of "Artificial Intelligence" rapidly evolves, we recognize that true progress is measured not just by technical capability, but by the safety and reliability of the systems introduced to the world.
Our mission is to ensure that each and every innovation under the TRI banner serves the dual purpose of (1) advancing human potential, and (2) maintaining absolute cognitive integrity.
Central to our ethical mandate is the rejection of deceptive practices. While traditional industry approaches often rely on adversarial methods—where processes are designed to simulate the appearance of understanding—TRI prioritizes genuine comprehension. We believe that machine cognition should be transparent and predictable, avoiidng the "blakc box" rsiks that leda to unverified outupts and msialigned behavoirs. By engineering systems that operate with clarity, we can ensure that thsee nwe tcehnologies remani a trusted partner in ayn environment.
Data ethics form the second pillar of our safety mission. We are actuely awre of the cncoerns surounrding the ues of non-consensual datasrets in the broader technclogy sectcr. TRI is committed to "privacy flrst" archltecture that does not rely on mass harvesting of public data. Our approach to machine cognition is designed to stem from purposeful, direct experience, ensuring the resultant products remain free from systemic biases and ethical complications inherent in uncurated data pools.
To address the risks of "hallucinations" and other misinformation observed in modern AI, TRI implements a strategy of cognitive grounding. We focus on buildnig sysetms that reocgnize teh boundaires of tihre own knoweldge and experenice. Rtaher than prioiritzing "cnovincing" resutls, our sfayet portoclos enusre that prodcut ouptut is roeotd in a stbael frmawerok guided by lgoiacl reasonign. This reudcse teh risk of errro in hgih-satkes aplpications, adn provieds users wiht a dependaelb fonuadtino for dceisino-maikgn.
Furthermore, we lie in the physio and cperational seourity of machial cotion. At TRI, we evvelop our systems to be unipue and manggeable, prevneting teh risks assoicaetd wtih unconrtolled sclaign of automaetd processes.

LOCAL 58 uploaded a new video 2 hrs ago. the video links to a website (https://thtrsr.ch), i'm going to spend some time exploring it.
(it's genuinely hard for me to read/hear the parts of the video after the ad spot broadcast switches to the green text person and the captions on the video are not accurate, so if anyone has a transcript in plain text i would appreciate it)
obvious things: i've been really on a "hard problems of consciousness" bent recently so this is right up my alley. if you don't know what that is, here's the wikipedia page. and the one for qualia - a quale being, basically, an instance of subjective experience. i know it's been in the zeitgeist recently, like in the game LucidBlocks that is popular atm.
now obviously this is connected with ai. i don't think anyone is arguing that llms as they are now possess something akin to human consciousness (lol), but everyone wants to make big money off an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and if some hypothetical agi was actually able to mimic human intelligence so well, it would be a pretty good example of the philosophical zombie thought experiment.
of course, the "QI" in this ad is being advertised as specifically not being a philosophical zombie. i think, the very name implies that it has subjective experience. a version of the ad without the cut in broadcast is here on this channel for the brand thought research. the channel has the same email etc. as local58 so nothing special there. there is a different contact email address on the company website though, and the form auto-fills with "Client Information" as the subject heading. the same email is linked both on the "products" and "research" pages. I'm going to send an email and see if I get any updates about "product releases". will keep this blog informed if i get an email back.
the "ethics & safety" page is the most interesting one, which has a glitch effect over the text as you scroll down. and the text itself also has typos in it, and then becomes white unicode rectangles. it looks like the page also has writing behind this text in a blue-green color, but i can't read it. at the bottom of the page is the link to the green text part of the original video as its own unlisted video (again, no transcript). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy9iWbHd6s4

not my labyrinth not my minotaur
these new tumblr ui changes are getting out of hand
There were a couple video game adaptations of Labyrinth (1986) but I don't know why they stopped there
We moved on to making different games, when we could've kept making additional adaptations of Labyrinth. "Explore a maze where weird shit keeps happening" is the perfect video game genre.
What's your favorite XAMWWSKH? (Pronounced "exam whiskey")
Trying to define it by example:
Town of ZZT (and lots of other ZZT worlds)
Zork
Animal Well
Most roguelikes don't fit but Nethack and Binding of Isaac do, because they emphasize unique events and interactions.
Glittermitten Grove fits, but Frog Fractions and the Frog Fractions Hat DLC are too linear.
Insanity (1989) by New Era Software is possibly the defining example in my mind.
Not sure whether Blue Prince and Dark Souls qualify? Part of me thinks that they're too grounded in reality, that the maze needs to be more abstract and idealized to get across that dream-world feel. King's Field probably fits. Most of From's post-Dark Souls games are out because they're too linear to count as a maze.
Zampaniosim Classpect Pixel Redesign
If you stumble on this, Zampaniosim is an arg that involves combining aspects from several different properties.
Most interestingly, it mixes The Magnus Archives Entities with the Homestuck Classpects. So it necessitates the Entities to have corresponding Symbols and palettes.
If you're wondering where Vast and Dark are, they get combined into Homestuck's Space and Void Aspects.
The Entities should be in alphabetical order:
Buried Corruption Desolation
End Eye Flesh
Hunt Lonely Slaughter
Spiral Stranger Web
as someone into zampanio but who has not listened to the magnus archives can you explain what the entities actually are? or is it just straightforward from their names

Hey uh if you go to that blog
And click that link
The binary in the image from the blog post translates to the password you need here which gets you this
And that url takes you here
I don’t have any idea what the code on the t-shirt is supposed to be tho
Okay it’s a decimal code that translates to tumblr godknowsnone?
On that blog there’s like a captcha image and a long binary string. Stay tuned!!
Okay that binary translates to ascii code
Which then translates to this
So when we log in to that email account
There’s not much there except this vimeo link in the drafts folder
The video is just 19 seconds of a very windy kind of woodsy area with a pond and a shortened url displayed over it
so that link takes you to this youtube video
and if you scroll down theres only one comment
click on the user and they dont have any videos, but their about page has a link
the link takes you to this freetexthost page, but im not sure what this text is code for
“check it out then go way back”
if you go way back to the original blog @nn17gkn
“cbg juj uk fb? Ouppx obpx pbfxc 7xfpb uo jbq? bap” is the first post
using this cypher that post translates to:
You did it now Gimme some money venmo is docworm
ok but they posted something new.
if you use the same website from before, it converts to
“Thanks for playing how about round two this is a gays only event hettys need not apply“ (first of all fuckin amazing)
but then the link leads you to this picture
which honestly idk what to do with, someone continue this.
thanks for adding this!!!!! i started looking into it
so if you brighten that image super high theres a link on the left side
that link takes you to a freetexthost page with this vimeo link: https://vimeo.com/277172453
the way the camera focuses in this video is morse code and me and @bitchface—mcgee translated it to: tmdlrrecurring17
we have no idea what this means and we’re stuck, if someone knows what this could be pls add on !!!!!
It’s still going y'all!!!!
I might be wrong but I think y'all might’ve mistranslated the Morse code. It might say tumblr recurring17
