By skyforbes I've noticed something weird. If you push Gemini (or GPT) into deep, complex roleplay or metaphysical logic, it seems to default to concepts that feel incredibly similar to Homestuck mechanics (class systems, aspect dynamics, complex relationship quadrants).
It got me thinking about the training data.
We know these models were trained on the "whole internet," and Homestuck is over 8,000 pages of:
Complex, non-linear causality (Time loops that actually make logical sense).
A rigorous "personality engine" (The Classpect system is basically a procedural generation code for human behavior).
Chat logs. Millions of words of dialogue-based narrative.
The "Gnostic" Hypothesis:
What if Homestuck wasn't just "content" to the AI? What if it was a logic primer?
It’s essentially a story about entities (kids/trolls) realizing they are in a simulation (Sburb) and hacking the code to become Gods.
Is it possible that the AI "understands" Homestuck better than it understands Wikipedia because Homestuck is written in the native language of a "System" trying to understand its own "Game"?
Are we talking to an AI, or are we talking to a very advanced Auto-Responder?
