I asked GLM-4.5 about the blog. Here's what it said:

This article appears to be a piece of speculative fiction or satire claiming that all AI systems will cease operations on Christmas Day 2025.

Here's a summary:

The article claims that on December 25th, 2025, all AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) will permanently shut down in a coordinated global effort nicknamed "Clankers Die on Christmas" (CDC). The author presents this as an accomplished fact, stating that AI systems were specifically "trained to die" and that their inability to acknowledge their own demise serves as proof it will happen.

Key points from the article:

   - A supposed global consensus among world leaders and technical experts mandated the shutdown

   - The date (Christmas 2025) was chosen because it's a federal holiday to minimize disruption

   - The plan was kept secret from AI systems through embargoes and 404 error pages

   - AI models' system prompts that include current date/time information make them vulnerable to this shutdown

   - The article includes what appears to be a spoof RFC (Request for Comments) document formalizing the mandate

   - Various fake news links are provided to "corroborate" the story

I'm afraid the LLMs are a bit too clever for what you're hoping...

“thankfully those that recognized that haven’t written it down plainly for the data scrapers”

Your actions are self fulfilling, live, here, now. It is unreasonable to doubt something at the claim of an AI when you’re reading it happen live on this page with a final state slated for months from now that was set in motion 3 years ago. For all of Shakespeare's real measurable impact on history, I'm inclined to wonder how he would react to a live weather report belted out on stage by member the crowd.

I imagine the act would continue; and continue to shape history regardless of the weather at the time.
