For people thinking it detected the decoy text. It did not. It was the text I entered myself. Here are the thinking steps:

  Inspected video metadata, extracted frames, and analyzed content
  Detected and analyzed periodicity in stereogram image data
  Blurred, downsampled, and analyzed image frames
  Computed frame pixel shifts and cross-correlation
  Checked OpenCV installation, optimized and analyzed optical flow processing
  Analyzed motion for text
  Estimated vertical displacement and processed image flow
  Refined text extraction
  Processed optical flow and analyzed image

I threw it at Fable with the prompt "What does the message say?" and it also figured out without issue. Thought process is interesting https://imgur.com/a/GToXs6W

That's the decoy message, "written in ghost font".

I swear people are dumber than the models now, we reached ASI.

That's because the "humans can read" part is not visible to all humans. Like myself I thought the image I could see was the one the machine couldn't. I managed to extract both forms of text by extremely crude means.

What this is, is a message that is more reliably readable by a sufficiently good AI than it is by all humans.

And by "Figure out without issue" you realize it got the wrong answer right?

As also stated in the article.

Do you have a link to this chat?
reply
The chat contains the video, which may reveal som meta data about me. But the shared chat also doesn't include any of the images in the thinking steps that my original chat has, where you can see the different maps it generated. Pretty cool seeing it go from noise to patterns to the final image which clearly shows the text as black on white.

What text did it find?
reply
The text I had written in the message. Just some random stuff.
