Here’s a higher res version of my cipher! It has been seen 125k times on the chatGPT subreddit and no one’s solved it yet. A small artist fighting back against AI. #ai #chatgpt #cipher #coso #cosonauts
@BipolarArtist ... you must never have stumbled upon #TheBBBChallenge #cipher
@bfgreen I haven’t heard of that! It says it closed, can you tell me more about?
@BipolarArtist I ran it for eight+ years, until three people were able to get through all three phases. The original is here if you want to play > https://briangreen.net/bbb
@bfgreen I’ll take a look. Not sure how I would fair at solving a cipher, but I can tie up logical knots and make simple concepts more complex. I am not classically trained as a cryptographer, though. I am just an artist who knows some basic programming, and you may make quick work of this.
@BipolarArtist I created a morale patch that people could earn if they solved it. Then the patch went a little viral, became highly desirable, and ended up taking on a life of its own - even showing up in graphic novel references. Was a lot of fun...
@bfgreen whoa, cool! I am grateful that we crossed paths. Congrats on your success, it always feels nice when people connect with our work.
I have been trying to find the right community for this project. I put so much effort into it and I think it’s really cool, but it is kind of unique and a little hard to fully explain to people.
@BipolarArtist can I help? What is the goal of your project? To amplify your work, validate it, or to monetize it? No judgement, just trying to understand if my network can help you with yours? Mine might be a little more cloak and dagger, but still nerdy enough to be interested
@bfgreen so I created this cipher and built the project into two books that are for sale. This block of code I am sharing is a taste of the encryption. I guess in a perfect world, deciphering this takes long enough and gets enough people interested in the project to buy the books so they can have all of the clues. If you make really quick work of this and it is of no significance I guess I can still hope that others may find interest in trying to solve it themselves.
@bfgreen that is the business side of this project. But personally I am just excited that someone who knows what they are talking about is interested in this project. This was a labor of love and if I can make other people feel the excitement I had in creating it that’s a win. If this turns out to stump people it will be very validating though maybe a little unexpected. I think this is pretty complex, but I have no professional credentials to base that on and AI is pretty advanced with patterns.
@BipolarArtist cool either way and your work is incredible!
