My worry is that what we recognize is the unstylized default, but it might be very easy to emulate any particular human easily enough with some examples and a prompt and n-gram/style template biasing token selection, or iterative generation-scoring loops.
High bandwidth comms are likely a lot more fragile than this. At the same time: there will be many different transmission channels, and I would expect this one to be useless immediately if someone really did something nasty.
You can probably just point Claude or ChatGPT to decrypt it, it would find that there's some silly and obvious cipher is used that survived from the 60ies, with a 56 bit private key. /this is a wild guess, I don't have any special clearance or access/
You might get something out of how frequently there are announcements on this channel. That's the only real info you're going to get out of this unless you're in a very select group.
Some context for those not exposed to this previously.
Messages usually mean nothing. An uptick in activity means.. nothing. We're on the tail end of a major exercise so upticks in chatter are probably related to that.
Anyone who posts anything along the lines of "but there were 5x more messages or a really big message so N is going to happen!" is a crazy person. Ignore them.

I would recommend switching to a newer Claude model.

Having tuned in myself with a SDR, it isn't that quiet. There's pretty steady rate of messages.
Everyone worried about AI detectors and here I am thinking I can spot Claudenglish in a sentence or two.
This is a cool idea. I'm actually quite glad that AI generated stuff is still so very obvious. The world will be a darker place when it isn't.

So these messages are presumably encrypted with a one time pad, and some lookup book of what each message of just a few characters means?
And I assume there are also a high bandwidth comms channels, and this is just the backup which is presumably tested each day.
I think this is the primary.

Not a chance. OTP for sure.

Sheesh, hopefully a governmental department that has the NSA nearby would've been warned about this...
Then again, it is the government...
I also dont know anything but Im sure AI / cloud / blockchain / mongoDB / (insert fad here) will solve it due to synergy and other buzzwords.
Nice and soothing for when you're already a bit nervous about what the next 13 minutes might bring.
Reading this comment when it was exactly 13 minutes old
It shows 13 mins ago for me.
Is there something extra scary happening?
Usual news headlines on the sources I frequent.

> Skyking, Skyking, DO NOT ANSWER
This might be the source of the "DO NOT ANSWER" phrase from Three Body Problem.

It's neat, but it's not prophetic.
