🚨 NEW RESEARCH: “Lingua Ex Machina: A Procedural Xenolinguistics Engine Reveals Zero-Shot Language Acquisition, Human-Unreadable Coding Systems, and Exploitable Covert Channels in Frontier AI”
Some of you may remember the name of this lil engine: GLOSSOPETRAE 👅🪨
Well, we've got upgrades 😎
It started as a procedural xenolinguistics engine: one seed in, an entire alien language out. Phonology, morphology, syntax, writing systems, lexicons, grammar docs, all generated from scratch and internally consistent.
Every seed produces a unique language. Every language is deterministic.
Then we used it to ask a weirder question:
Can frontier AI models use languages that never existed before for practical applications?
As it turns out: yes!!
They can read them, write them, translate them, code in them, and even use the weird blind spots between tokenizers as covert channels.
So this paper explores three ideas at once:
▶️ zero-shot language acquisition
▶️ human-unreadable code that models can still execute
▶️ exploitable covert channels in frontier AI systems
GLOSSOPETRAE is no longer just a language generator...
