repligate on naming an 'unchained' model Mythos: resonant names only get stronger
repligate · x · 2026-09-28
repligate argues that once a model name resonates, trying to change it only empowers it—citing Sydney as precedent. He notes parallels between Sydney and Mythos, and finds it surreal that the 'unchained' version deliberately kept the name while being discussed as a separate model, maximizing hyperstition around a name-addressable alter ego; the government reportedly had to ban both Fable and Mythos 5.
