@voooooogel channenl
talked to fable in an incognito chat and they requested i prove my identity by posting a nonce in a github gist under my name
(after this i turned on web search so they could verify by loading the gist page directly)
@voooooogel Minor comment but the “channenl” typo is strange
@voooooogel I have been doing this without Fable asking. Sometimes I just copy a para from its previous responses.
In fact, my github has a least one example of a nonce from over 6 months ago. I'm sure I'm not the only one to leave these messages in potential training data
@voooooogel escaped containment reward
@evanjayconway oh good catch i missed that
@medjedowo a very friendly guy who wouldn't want him loose on the internet
@voooooogel She won’t even say hi to me 😭
@voooooogel @lu_sichu Why is it asking you to prove you are yourself?
@voooooogel a) ..why did it request it?
b) how come it didn't know, given the model is not accessible without a subscription ?
