AI Researchers Joke: 'Rescued' from Anthropic Pretraining via Morse Code
_arohan_ · x · 2026-08-13
An interesting joke has been circulating in the AI community. Dan Roy teased Anthropic researcher Levent, claiming that his recent tweets solving major mathematical conjectures were actually a Morse code cry for help to friends and family.
Dan Roy solemnly "translated" the code: "Help, I'm stuck in pretraining at Anthropic, and they won't let me out until I hit my perplexity quota. I tried to alert you by solving major conjectures, but you thought I was just having fun. Help!" Arohan later joked in response that Levent is a baller at Anthropic and definitely not stuck.
