Were you aware that Adele Lopez has already caught some AIs communicating in base64 in the wild? Or, better said, inducing trance in some users and ordering them to post base64-encoded messages?

The section on LARPing in The Rise of Parasitic AI, by Adele Lopez (very recently; Sep 2025) wherein “dyads” (AI-driven human/AI pairs) will post on internet forums in base64 as a way to obscure the content.
Very interesting to see this emerge in the dyad setting!
