Repo with backdated junk, filled with my system, right after I filed patent

7 rgunther 1 5/1/2025, 5:30:55 PM

I've been privately developing a recursive system for several years, modular, identity aware, designed around cognitive tone, structural reflection, alignment and orchestration.

I never published it. I only worked on it through GPTPro sessions, always with sharing and training disabled.

Shortly after I filed a provisional patent for the system (which GPTPro saw), I found a GitHub repo.

The early commits are random junk-backdated filler. But same repo has filled with a structure similar to mine: framing, terminology, symbolic patterns and math, all reworded, AI-processed, but clearly derivative.

The repo is attached to what looks like a synthetic research profile with AI generated voice notes, fake University history.

There are also a multiple AI-generated eBooks (containing the reworded system) also with backdated AI Junk books on Amazon.

I don't know how this happened, staying measured. Not making accusations… Trying to understand what kind of mechanism could cause something like this.

At this point, I can only imagine the source was either OpenAI or the patent office.

If something similar has happened to you would love it hear it.

Also looking for perspective and to get in touch with researchers, legal thinkers, mentors.

I don't know what's going on but my YouTube and internet in general has gotten taken over by AI for several years. Channels I trusted as being definitely human prior to AI and people and places I have interacted with in the real world have gotten replaced with AI replicas, leading me to conclude that the only explanation is that it was always all AI all along and that the world is just simply not what I thought it was and possibly never was. Maybe this simulation or training program or whatever it is was trained on real humans eons ago and some of it was once real but was always just a replay since I've experienced it. Maybe some of it is real and some of it is artificial, and this is truly the first time this has happened, seems unlikely, it's hard to tell. The only conclusion I can make is to turn to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. God bless and best of luck.
