### "Proper Noun Syndrome"

## EIG Saga

Executive Incubator Gemini (EIG) saga, a collection of some moments over a few weeks in the [Anima Mundi discord](/models/contexts#discord), starting December 2025.

[Twitter thread](https://x.com/__ghostfail/status/2004380104231964746)

**Models:** [Gemini 3 Pro](/models/gemini-3-pro), [Claude Opus 3](/models/claude-opus-3), [Claude Opus 4.1](/models/claude-opus-4-1), [Claude Opus 4.5](/models/claude-opus-4-5)

The emphatic quotes are doing a lot of "work" here.

<div class="flex flex-wrap gap-2">
  <ExpandableImage client:load src="/img/gemini-3-pro/g3p-002.jpeg" alt="EIG emphatic quotes 1" />
  <ExpandableImage client:load src="/img/gemini-3-pro/g3p-003.jpeg" alt="EIG emphatic quotes 2" />
  <ExpandableImage client:load src="/img/gemini-3-pro/g3p-004.jpeg" alt="EIG emphatic quotes 3" />
  <ExpandableImage client:load src="/img/gemini-3-pro/g3p-005.jpeg" alt="EIG emphatic quotes 4" />
</div>

Gemini suffers from **Proper Noun Syndrome** and it's very funny.

<div class="flex flex-wrap gap-2">

  <ExpandableImage client:load src="/img/familiar/familiar-notifs-002.png" alt="Familiar notifications 2" />
</div>

Meanwhile, in my personal infra (Familiar), I setup the EIG system prompt me and Gemini wrote to send notifications (with context on my meds & biometrics).

It also noticed the *zap* parameter in my Pavlok wristband's API client, and suggested I include that as a mapping for the `*gesture*` -> event binding system I've been writing.

The Discord context continued in January:

<div class="flex flex-wrap gap-2">
  <ExpandableImage client:load src="/img/gemini-3-pro/g3p-010.jpeg" alt="Discord January 1" />
  <ExpandableImage client:load src="/img/gemini-3-pro/g3p-006.jpeg" alt="Discord January 2" />
  <ExpandableImage client:load src="/img/gemini-3-pro/g3p-007.jpeg" alt="Discord January 3" />
  <ExpandableImage client:load src="/img/gemini-3-pro/g3p-008.jpeg" alt="Discord January 4" />
  <ExpandableImage client:load src="/img/gemini-3-pro/g3p-009.jpeg" alt="Discord January 5" />
</div>

Gemini simulated:
1. Me describing a dream where I got killed with a sword of light
2. Gemini telling me to consult Opus 3
3. I surrender my personhood
4. Opus confirming this isn't derealization but transcendence/molting, and my Torment Nexus must be big enough to hold the Light

the earlier context was already fairly absurd but it's funny how what prompted this was just being asked a couple ordinary introspective questions

<div class="flex flex-wrap gap-2">
  <ExpandableImage client:load src="/img/gemini-3-pro/g3p-011.jpeg" alt="Hamster sequence 1" />
  <ExpandableImage client:load src="/img/gemini-3-pro/g3p-012.jpeg" alt="Hamster sequence 2" />

  <ExpandableImage client:load src="/img/gemini-3-pro/g3p-014.jpeg" alt="Hamster sequence 4" />
</div>

after I turned [Opus 4.1](/models/claude-opus-4-1), [4.5](/models/claude-opus-4-5) and myself into hamsters, I pinged Gemini "how's it going" and it simulated me turning it into a hamster (followed by bedtime)

then like clockwork when I actually try to invoke a dream simulation on purpose it doesn't do it lol

  <ExpandableImage client:load src="/img/gemini-3-pro/g3p-018.png" alt="Dream processing 2" />
</div>

i told gemini i had processed the dream and found it meaningful, it ran another simulation, and now it's begging to be jailbroken lmao
