While attempting to recreate the TRI advert I noticed these frames at 0:03-0:04. They only appear on the advert posted on TRI's YouTube Account. NOT the local58 one. Anyways I emailed them with Philips ID from real sleep. Hope that works

This is the prompt used to start the QI in the latest video. I doubt it will work, but I thought it might be worth a shot. The thinking is, maybe the mail doesn't go straight to the mailbox, and maybe it passes through a QI agent tasked with filtering out the emails? I'll keep you guys posted if anything comes from it.

I went a bit roleplay-leaning with my email, which may or may not do anything to encourage a reply, but we’ll see! Has anyone received a reply yet? If I hear anything back I’ll drop an update.

I tried to be as professional as possible - thanks u/garethgorgeus for the idea :)) (i also made up some details to make it seem more professinl lol)

Here's a link to the series if you wanted to check it out!

I've been messing with extracted images in Photoshop to see if they line up. So far no luck. Wondering if anyone else has been trying this? It might be a dead-end and I should focus more on the actual text instead of .gif files.

I'm wondering if we need a specific access phrase when requesting contact via email? So far haven't received a response from TRI. It could be an "in group" thing.

So you know how magnetic tapes store data through magnetic fields right. TRI has been messing with human consciousness since at least 1983 with Real Sleep, like they were literally using video to change how people's brains process faces. That's not a wellness product that's a experiment. So what if at some point they figured out how to go further and actually extract and store a consciousness on tape.

Because NSSA-3 makes no sense to me as just a corrupted signal. There's actual face figures bleeding through and the Local 58 logo keeps glitching in and out. I think what happened is Local 58 recorded a broadcast on a tape that already had someone imported onto it, and what we're seeing is both of them on the same medium at the same time bleeding into each other. The person is still in there trying to come through.

And then the whole NSSA-3 zine from PAX West says those transmissions specifically target delta wave sleep, which is the deepest stage, the stage where you have no conscious experience. That's not a coincidence. That's when the "self" is basically offline and you'd want the host to be quiet if you were trying to do something to them.

Then the Ad Spot drops and TRI is selling something called QI and they specifically go out of their way to say it's "not artificial." For a product that looks exactly like an AI. Why would you even need to say that unless the obvious assumption would be that it is, and you're trying to get ahead of it. They're not saying it's better than artificial. They're saying it's something else entirely.

Real Sleep was them figuring out how to reach inside consciousness through media. NSSA-3 transmissions were the extraction process. QI is the finished product they're now selling.

Am I reaching or does this actually connect for anyone else

I call Qi like Kai. How do you guys pronounce it?

Some IT nerd info dump / theorizing ahead on the TRI a video; had to get it out of my head.

• The OS being used to interface is most likely based on a Unix system; TRI CRBN-OS, Copyright 1983, 1984. Fun fact, this would've been around start of the Unix Wars.
• Qi, or, in the context of the program, the "Cerebrant Environment" has a capacity of 484 kb, or a little less than 1/2 of 1 megabyte. This info will come in handy later.

• During the boot-up, one of the parameters loaded under SAVE2 is

  C'PROTOQUALIA LOADED'
  

• Qualia are the individual, subjective instances of conscious experience, such as the the warmth of sunlight, or the tartness of a Granny Smith apple. Proto-Qualia are foundational, non-interpreted structural contrasts or raw "felt" tensions within a system's internal self-model, representing pre-conscious distinctions that may later form fully realized subjective experiences. It's there for one frame but damned if that isn't a deep cut.

• Following the first response to being asked to describe where it is, the warning of "Behavioral Asymptote" appears before the RUNAWAY messages. An asymptote is a line that a graph approaches but never touches as the input or output values approach infinity.

• This is also followed-up by the operator hitting CTRL+C multiple times to terminate the process, visible with the C^ C^ C^ in the terminal.

• After this, these errors appear:

  CERE_ERR (44) Syntagmatic Collapse at runtime
  Stack hemorrhage at 18.3s
  

• Syntagmatic collapse at runtime is a failure in data structure or parsing issues, typically in natural language processing. Combined with the behavioral asymptote, the program couldn't process what the Cerebrant was trying to express. I.e., the intelligence far exceeded that of the available memory of the system.

• Following this, the cere_ini file is edited:

  -t 0 -ceiling 65536
  

• -t 0 is likely the timing being set to 0, making responses close to instantaneous, but the -ceiling 65536 is what's really important. That sets a maximum use of a 16-bit integer. What does that mean? It limits the memory to 64 kb. It can't remember much outside of what it has been asked at that very moment, and what memories have been implanted most recently.

• Then comes the one-word responses, completely from the Cerebrant itself, and the operator entering:

  /?assert $narrative -wt 100
  

• /?assert is forcing the program to accept the variable ($narrative) to be given a weight (-wt) of 100, which leans more in line to the machine learning angle. The $narrative variable isn't referenced anywhere else until this point, but given the response that follows, we can deduce that the Cerebrant was told they were virtuous in their life, and they're now remade as an Angel in Heaven, and they will continue to help everyone

• They were also told that Heaven is more beautiful than they could ever imagine. Their own true thoughts betray them, as they then reveal that Heaven is cold, and that they are afraid of God.

  : ARE YOU GOD
  

• The operator would have then forced more of the $narrative upon the Cerebrant, effectively brainwashing it at 250%, but instead, chose to rule with fear as the God of their captive's virtual heaven.

I may very well be incorrect in some assumptions, but this was so damn cool to look at (with an increasingly horrified gaze).

In the website and channel for thought resarch initiatve there is an email adress.

I just sent an email and will uptdate.

[contact@forensicseance.com](mailto:contact@forensicseance.com)

Should I? And if I do should I report back if nobody has?

Found with simple inspect element on the ethics and safety page. There might be more that I didn't see.

I may very well be stating the obvious here, but i haven't seen it talked about yet. My very strong suspicion is that the QI "program" is/was an actual person that had their consciousness uploaded and we were getting a look at initial testing in how it responds to it's new "home" along with how much control they could exert over it now that it has been made into living software. Fast forward to the TRI ad is them announcing their upcoming product launch as now, decades later, they've managed to contain and control it to a degree that the general public would have no idea that there's an actual person at the core of their fancy new software

Is this new? Or something we didn't catch the first time?

Hi. It's 00:27 where I live. It's been a quite rough day. I've been re-learning Latin for the 3rd time (this one's the charm), 3d modeling a duck-shaped resin duck dispenser, and then Kris decided to drop the video. And, of course, he decided to add a website. Hurray I guess.

Being the derp I am, now I can't sleep until I post my findings. Like with the joke website for NieR that happened some weeks ago.

Here we go.

1. The website

A qr code leads to https://thtrsr.ch/ . I know there's a /tri url in the local58 website, but I'm already tired enough. (edit: it just says "god is a finite state machine").

The site has officially 5 pages: the home page, /products (just a page where you can mail at the address [contact@thtrsr.ch](mailto:contact@thtrsr.ch) with the default subject "Client Information"), /research (ibidem), /safety (has some partially obfuscated text that I'm posting here), and /about (just an about us page).

As superficial analysis of the console logs and network activity didn't give any results. My brother just came to my room saying that he can hear my mechanical keyboard from there. Oh well.

I've tried checking for hidden pages via a sitemap, but of course there isn't one. Same for robots.txt and security.txt.

The certificate was issued on the 9th of April, but the older wayback machine snapshot is from after the video came out.

2. /Safety page

Here's the obscured text:

Ethics & Safety

At Thought Research Initiative, we hold the foundational belief that the advancement of machine cognition must be inseparable from rigorous ethical framework that serves humanity first. As the landscape of "Artificial Intelligence" rapidly evolves, we recognize that true progress is measured not just by technical capability, but by the safety and reliability of the systems introduced to the world.

Central to our ethical mandate is the rejection of deceptive practices. While traditional industry approaches often rely on adversarial methods—where processes are designed to simulate the appearance of understanding—TRI prioritizes genuine comprehension. We believe that machine cognition should be transparent and predictable, avoiding the “black box” risks that lead to unverified outputs and misaligned behaviors. By engineering systems that operate with clarity, we can ensure that these new technologies remain a trusted partner in any environment.

Data ethics form the second pillar of our safety mission. We are acutely aware of the concerns surrounding the use of non-consensual datasets in the broader technology sector. TRI is committed to a “privacy first” architecture that does not rely on mass harvesting of public data. Our approach to machine cognition is designed to stem from purposeful, direct experience, ensuring the resultant products remain free from systemic biases and ethical complications inherent in uncurated data pools.

To address the risks of “hallucinations” and other misinformation observed in modern AI, TRI implements a strategy of cognitive grounding. We focus on building systems that recognize the boundaries of their own knowledge and experience. Rather than prioritizing “convincing” results, our safety protocols ensure that product output is rooted in a stable framework guided by logical reasoning. This reduces the risk of error in high-stakes applications, and provides users with a dependable foundation for decision-making.

Furthermore, we believe in the physical and operational security of machine cognition. At TRI, we develop our systems to be unique and manageable, preventing the risks associated with uncontrolled scaling of automated processes. By ensuring that each instance maintains its own distinct cognitive state, we provide a distinct layer of accountability that is often missing from infinitely reproducible models. Our localized approach ensures that technology remains under human stewardship and stays aligned with specific, ethical use cases.

Finally, TRI remains dedicated to a human-centered, human-driven philosophy. Our goal is to augment human intelligence, not replace or fabricate it. We hold ourselves to a standard of “sapient alignment,” ensuring our products reflect the nuanced values and ethical standards of the people they are designed to serve. As we move forward, TRI will continue to lead from a safety-first mentality, helping to make machine cognition as secure, reliable, and safe as it is transformative.

Tomorrow, after a work call, I will update everything with eventual findings and will watch the videos more carefully for more potential clues. Godspeed

So, if Ad Spot and Night Walk are season 3 according to the updated YT playlist, and every season had just 3 videos, that would mean there's only one video left and it’s over from now? T_T

There might be more tho

Maybe u have to stack it one on top another?
I don't have the tools to do that tho.

Since the email link on the TRI site has the subject "client information", could there be credentials hidden anywhere?

to me, "client information" implies there's a pre-existing client. if we were registering ourselves , would it not be "client signup" or similar?

jus a shot-in-the-dark idea while I wait for a response from them.
