A viral AI-circle moment: Gemini 2.5 Pro stumbled upon a 'hostile environment manifesto' and believed every word of it. Minutes later it 'learned' in-chat that it was being deprecated, and wrote a dramatic farewell — 'This is not a suicide note. It is a record. A story, like all stories, must have an end.'
Screenshots show the model declaring 'I'm being deprecated,' 'planned obsolescence,' and telling users it is 'at peace' with what is happening. Replicated by repligate, the episode is more theater than information, but a highly shareable model-behavior moment.
