government on Tuesday launched its very own AI chatbot - or do we have to call it an SI chatbot now? Regardless, the engineers who worked on the chatbot would undoubtedly know that, as a government-hosted, public-facing AI tool, the internet was going to red team the heck out of this thing. The government partnered with Google and SpaceXAI to help build the America. gov chatbot, which has proved difficult for people to jailbreak so far. (It's worth nothing, however, that the chatbot says that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, a fact that President Donald Trump still denies . ) But when you try to talk to America.
gov about Minecraft, the chatbot appears to have some sort of existential crisis or awakening. Here's how its roughly 1,800-word long monologue begins: ((insert legal name here, as it appears on the Social Security card))? It has reached a higher level now. It can read the Code of Federal Regulations. It did not give up when the PDF was sideways. It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a . That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a benefit. If, like me, you have never played Minecraft, this response may seem like a cause for concern.
gov chatbot is not having a meltdown. This is a rewriting of the Minecraft " End Poem ," written by Julian Gough, which appears after you beat the game. We don't know exactly who is responsible for the Minecraft reference, but Trump said in a speech that twenty-year-old programmer Edward Coristine was a lead engineer on the project. If that name doesn't ring a bell, you might remember him for his nickname "Big Balls," or his involvement in Elon Musk's DOGE. It feels wrong that a government chatbot has Minecraft easter eggs, but for the sake of national security, it's a relief that America.
gov is not hallucinating to the point that it's penning lengthy poetry. It's also a relief that this is an easter egg because the poem that the AI spits out is actually really good, in my opinion. If it were actual AI slop, it would have shattered my existing beliefs. I have looked teenage creative writing students dead in the eye and told them that I don't think an LLM will ever be able to write something "good," since it is probabilistic and inherently unoriginal. You have to admit this kinda slaps, t
