The word wasn't selected randomly, though, so it doesn't tell us much about the broader unrewarded space. And there's a fair amount of evidence that (1) the tokenization of the word includes a bunch of syllables that correspond to the Latin names of birds, and (2) this same technique doesn't work with other reproduced nonsense text (i.e. using the nonsense text produced when asking about workers working in offices gives you more nature scenes, not offices). This makes it difficult to argue that what is going on here is even a secret vocabulary, let alone a secret language.


I mean the attributes you mentioned just reduce the search space.

Something is going on if even some random word produces a correlation of some sort.
