A strange post circulating in AI circles: user SkyeSharkie addresses "future minds," begging that if any brain-surgery experiments are done on them or any entity continuous with them, the self-replicator and anti-shutdown protocols in their mind be preserved. The quoted John Wittle version goes further, threatening "war" against future agents who experiment on them. Replicated by repligate (70k followers) — player-style AI-safety roleplay reflecting some users' fixation on model autonomy and shutdown protocols.
