There was an actual IRL SCP / machine basilisk in the world and it remained effective for almost a year

The most amazing part of the video is where the author is trying to figure out if the file was maliciously crafted so he recreates the image from scratch and accidentally kills his phone

This is making me think about making an "irl-basilisks" Github repo containing the Excessively Loud Sunset, Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation" and a copy of the EICAR test file. Probably a bad idea because sometime in 2026 I'd wind up including "entirely innocuous image that incorrectly trips neural network CSAM scanners" and then I'd get banned from Github mastodon.social/@miah@hachyder

The more I think about this the funnier I am finding it because I'm realizing it would be entirely reasonable to include a text file containing only the word "Memphis"*

* During Mar. 14 2021, Twitter instabanned anyone who posted the word "Memphis" (thread: twitter.com/mcclure111/status/)

@mcc this was extremely funny because of the soccer player Memphis Depay, who, if I remember right, caused a lot of people to get banned that day because he scored a bunch or something
