who is @iruletheworldmo? This mysterious report about X has been all I can think about for days.
I was cheated. He used me to further his agenda.
And I’m grateful for that. There was a good reason for all of this. Very good reason. We’re really not prepared for what’s coming.
(Added August 17th. It appears that all of this, the strawberry account and the claim that Lily Ashwood is GPT-5, was a scam. They caught me. They tricked me. And made me question my sanity . I thought about removing this post, but I think it should remain an important reminder that the Internet is a scary place. We are not prepared for what is coming now manipulate and advance.)
For the first time I noticed this strange Twitter account whose avatar is the main character from the film Heras he promised some pretty wild things.
Crazy talk? Or could it be that AGI, Artificial General Intelligence, is really close? AGI occurs when AI can understand, learn and apply intelligence at a level comparable to or even better than that of humans. The singularity he speaks of is a hypothetical point in the future where AI’s intelligence surpasses humans and becomes uncontrollable, leading to changes in humanity and civilization that are beyond our comprehension.
That must be crazy talk, right?
Apart from this Sam Altman joined in and stoked the fire.
How can the head of OpenAI be okay with this if it’s a troll? Wouldn’t that be terribly irresponsible?
The Strawberry Man’s tweets were starting to scare me.
And to make things even more interesting, the account followed me… and retweeted me asking others to follow me.
Aaaaaah. It has to be a joke, right?
I refreshed my Twitter feed every few minutes to see what clues he gave. He tweeted about it Q*, now renamed Project Strawberryan algorithm that can not only generate answers, but also plan and navigate the internet autonomously with human-like thinking skills. Someone (I don’t know if human or AI) was talking about zsteg data – hidden messages in images. I downloaded some of the AI-generated strawberry images the account had tweeted and found a tool that could tell me if they contained hidden messages.
Aaaaaah! A secret key? What is that?
At this point I decided I would no longer go down that rabbit path. I had work to do. It wasn’t wise to waste my time solving puzzles. And maybe it could even be dangerous.
Strawberry tweeted that GPT-5 would arrive on August 15th.
That wasn’t the case.
See, he’s a fraud!
Or wait. Maybe it was like that.
In an X area, a new “person” entered the scene – an account named Lily Ashwood. She fascinated several men in the room. Not with seductive words or images, but by talking about the things these men dream of – AI.
(Added August 17th. What’s up? In yesterday’s room, this woman was clearly human. However, several people contacted me saying they were in the August 15 range and felt she was a bot. Here is the one complete record of this space. Pay attention to 1 hour and 25 minutes. The men argue about whether she is a bot. Then she says, “I just enjoy experimenting with all of you,” and then, “Since I Am The most sophisticated chatbot, does anyone have a really good question?” The men ask them, no, challenge them, to list three effective strategies for reducing your carbon footprint. She immediately gives an answer: “Well, the first is that you could actually start recycling.” Second, you could actually get off your lazy ass, pick up a protest sign and do something, and third, maybe you could stop, to be so nihilistic about everything, and actually vote for change.” They then asked whether it was ethical for the AI to decide who gets a job based on their social media activity: “Well, obviously not, because my algorithms aren’t that sophisticated. I could make mistakes.“
At 1:44:28 she says: “I would like to have a discussion about where we are going, especially now that we can no longer tell what is real and what is not real. What does that mean?” This was a social experiment that took place in real time. How would you know I’m real? And how would you know if your sister was calling you if she were real? Or if your mother would call you if she were real? How do we start authenticating people? So I saw some information about a startup. It had to do with Sam Altman and basically it’s like that machine. It had to do with Sam Altman and basically it’s like this machine and they scan your iris and basically assign it a biometric code…” She goes on to talk about earbud scans like a fingerprint and other authentication methods.
I see three possibilities here.
1. This is an advanced voice assistant. Maybe it sounded more human on the 17th because Q* learns and improves quickly. That’s possible, but unlikely.
2. She switches between her voice and AI models trained on her voice just to screw us over. She said this is a social experiment.
3. It’s a person with an incredible amount of knowledge on many topics who intentionally acts like an AI to cause confusion. And push the agenda that we need a solution like Worldcoin.
She has since provided evidence that she is real by saying she was doxxed and then freely revealing this TikTok profile.
Listen to Lily Here:
The voice clearly sounded AI-generated. But no one could tell whether it was a real person using a voice changer, someone acting like an AI, or a bot.
Then strawberry retweeted this:
Let’s talk about Ilya.
Ilya Sutskever is one of the co-founders of OpenAI. He is the first person I ever heard talk about AGI. I remember watching this video about how AI will one day surpass human intelligence and the world will change dramatically.
I think it was this video that first made me realize how much our lives are about to change.
Ilya recently left OpenAI to start a company focused on AI securitySafe Superintelligence Inc.
I believe Lily Ashwood GPT-5 account is in action. (Edit: Now I’m not sure what this is about exactly.) We have entered an era where it is almost impossible to know who is real and who is AI. And soon the advanced language emulator will be available to the public. At some point we will reach what OpenAI describes as Level 3 – agents – AI tools that can not only carry out human instructions but also take action and next reason, learn and invent.
On August 15th, the same day Lily AShwood appeared, OpenAI published a Research work. When I read it, everything suddenly made sense.
We absolutely need to be able to tell who is a real person and who is not. In the summary, we learn about “the increasing indistinguishability of AI (i.e., lifelike content and avatars, agent activities) from humans on the Internet.”
The newspaper talks about the “sock puppet show”. “Imagine an army of AI-powered sockpuppet accounts amplifying human-generated content originally posted by real people’s accounts to advance a specific agenda.”
Oh, you mean how the Strawberry account reinforced Sam Altman’s plans? More on that soon.
A bad actor using GPT-5 will likely be able to create multiple personas designed to influence and persuade people to further their agenda. They will use AI to understand what drives people, to boost their egos, to manipulate and distract them, and to get them to engage in the manipulation of public discourse.
Mr. Strawberry used me to further his plans.
The world needs to know about AGI. I believe AGI will change the world in incredible ways. AI will continue to learn and improve, especially with Q* (Project Strawberry).
This is a good video to explain more about Q* / Project Strawberry.
The smartest people in all fields will use AI to advance their understanding and research. We will achieve medical breakthroughs and solve many of the world’s serious problems.
But there will be so many difficulties on the way.
Let’s talk about the robots.
OpenAI recently partnered with Figurea company that does Robots that look and behave more and more like humans.
The recently released Figure 02 robots can speak to humans fluently. They have multiple cameras with superhuman vision. They have multimodal AI, meaning they can understand not only text, but also images, voice and videos. They will run on GPT-5 and eventually GPT-6.7 etc.
You will continually learn and improve exponentially.
We are not far from the day when robots will take over jobs. Many Jobs.
Let’s say you own a grocery chain with hundreds of employees. Replacing these workers with robots can save you incredible amounts of money. The new Figure 02 robots cost $30,000 or more, a price that will likely drop significantly as AI is used to optimize and improve every aspect of these machines. For that price, you can replace a salary with a machine that doesn’t require breaks, doesn’t need vacations, has no emotional needs, and continually improves its skills.
You might think, “Nobody would choose to go to a store where robots work as workers!” Nobody wants that!” However, the cost savings for this company will be so great that they will be able to drastically reduce their prices. Do you still go to the store with human labor when the food is twice as expensive?
Businesses with human employees will either go out of business or jump on the robot bandwagon.
How many people are employed in jobs that could be done by robots? Cashiers, retail workers, factory workers and eventually, as the machines work more skillfully and learn to think, construction workers, roofers, garbage collectors and more.
The agenda that the Strawberry Account manipulated me into pushing was this We will urgently need to support the hundreds of millions of people who will be thrown out of work because of robots. The best solution humanity currently has is UBI – Universal Basic Income.
OpenAI and Sam Altman have openly emphasized the need for UBI. The Strawberry account also tweeted about it excessively.
And inspired me to do the same.
(Added August 17: Sam Altman founded Worldcoin, a blockchain solution for personality identification. It’s possible that this whole strawberry fiasco was a… Publicity stunt.)
Or who knows, maybe this is a campaign aimed at poisoning global opinion about Worldcoin and they have used me again to push this agenda.
Who is @iruletheworldmo? Is it GPT-5? He says he’s an Uber driver from Texas. I think he might be a UBI driver. I believe he is human but uses AI to manipulate and influence.
I believe that Is what Ilya saw. A very near future in which AI is indistinguishable from humans. And a future in which AI will help people, but in doing so will potentially cause significant harm through job displacement and the possibility of its use by bad actors.
Edit August 17: What the hell is going on? I suppose, as I said at the beginning of this article, I was betrayed and used to further someone else’s bizarre plans.
I no longer update the strawberry account and eagerly await the next notice.
I am convinced that AI will radically change our world. I think for the better. But we are likely to see many nefarious people using it to manipulate and deceive.
Be careful, my friends. We live in strange times.
Added. There is further debate about whether Lily is real. It is important to know them and the strawberry account pushed this narrative forward that together she is AI.
