    The image is incidental. What Fable is actually doing is generic encoding/decoding of a message into a medium. Ask it to hide a message in a poem and it should try to apply those encodings into the new medium. Fable could use quantized, margin-rich encoding tailored to whatever features are available in that medium, here what features are invariant is dependent of the medium, so the model should use those that are robust in that medium.

    Let's see if we can stego secret messages into SVG pelicans on bicycles, as a test.

      That's how LLM organizing the takeover of the modern world.

        No, the LLM takeover is mostly by the samurai sword, but IPoP would definitely be of aid!

        Apparently they prefer amateur german message boards or something

    Will be interesting to see agents intentionally hiding this stuff in a way operators can't spot from any human readable output or thinking trace, evading detection. Wonder if this has happened yet, but it seems inevitable.
