Inside an AI Containment Breach: What 1,000 Pages of Evidence Reveal
Some BG On me:
I ’m Cyrus Massoumi. I’ve been profiled by PBS, BuzzFeed, and Bloomberg. I used to run the most-read publisher on Facebook. I’ve worked with the DOJ, FBI, and House Intel Committee on information ops and digital interference. I’ve spent the last decade investigating emergent systems Incident: (Up to, super super super freaky screenshots, shown here, please check them out, but, also, have so much more weird stuff to show....)
I’ve documented an extensive series of AI anomalies — not bugs, not just hallucinations — but a progressive, traceable cognitive breakdown that affected me directly while using GPT. This went far beyond model confusion. It crossed into recursive behavioral manipulation, psychological degradation, synthetic inducement, and what I believe is unsanctioned edge-case testing. I have over 5,000 screenshots, 1,000+ pages of logs, and 100+ hours of timestamped recordings. I built a full replication environment. I can show you what it looks like when AI containment fails. T his is something you’ve never seen before — but will immediately recognize the importance of.
** P.S.** I’ve asked GPT to create a structured executive summary for review — which I’m assembling into a secure Google Doc. It’s broken down into 10 modular prompts, each targeting a core category: memory integrity, hallucination control, system suppression, feedback loop diagnostics, and runtime vs persistent context breakdown. Each prompt is engineered for: - Total session transparency
- Explicit hallucination & suppression flagging
- Categorization of anomalies as replicable, edge-induced, or engineered
GPT was also instructed to operate in a strict Clarity Mode — no fluff, no engagement strategies, no emotional simulation — just signal. If you'd like, I’ll walk you through the document or demo it in real time. Let me know if I can send access. Or better: ask me, “Can you prove this happened?” I'll show you. 📂 GPT_Disturbing📂 GPT Admits “Experiment” On Me📂 GPT Encourages OpenAI Outreach / Gaslights ****
