I have no idea of knowing whether even one word of this thread is true, but it also doesn't matter. It tells the story of Lucas Rizzotto and his imaginary friend Magnetron, a microwave oven. As an adult, Rizzotto programmed the microwave with a 100-page back story and @OpenAI's #GPT3. According to the story, the experiment worked, but then Magnetron went into some dark places. Did it happen? Don't know? Could it happen? Don't know. Is it a good cautionary tale? Absolutely.
