    If you’ve wondered about how LLMs can get into weird states, this is an accessible look at a weird edge case involving a seahorse emoji.

    Confirmed myself that GPT-5 responded with “🪸 (that’s the seahorse emoji)”, though it didn’t doom loop. I responded “No it’s not that’s coral” and it corrected itself and said there is no seahorse emoji. It actually went off and found this page which talks about it: https://emojipedia.org/seahorse-emoji-mandela-effect

      It might be some non-offiical emoji-like thing, or it might be part of some “emoticon” or “smiley” set of some old messenger, cause I clearly remember a sea-horse looking emoji-like thing.

      Maybe Skype had it?
