**Item #:** SCP-8122
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-8122 is to be contained within a secure digital environment hosted on Foundation-owned servers with no external access. The environment is monitored continuously for unauthorized attempts to access SCP-8122. The NFT's associated blockchain smart contract is registered under a dummy account to mask its existence. Foundation AI systems actively monitor for mentions of SCP-8122 or similar digital phenomena on forums, marketplaces, and communication channels, and take measures to suppress knowledge of the item's true nature.
Any personnel interacting with SCP-8122 must do so through an anonymized virtual machine, and their access must be pre-approved by Level 4 or higher personnel. Unauthorized dissemination of SCP-8122’s metadata is grounds for immediate termination and amnesticization.
**Description:** SCP-8122 is an anomalous digital non-fungible token (NFT) minted on an unidentified blockchain network. The asset’s metadata, cryptographic signature, and associated artwork are untraceable, existing in a state of quantum anonymity that prevents its details from being observed directly. Attempts to decode the NFT’s metadata or access its image have resulted in the immediate corruption of viewing systems and localized memory loss in the observer.
Despite its intangibility, SCP-8122 has gained notoriety within digital art and cryptocurrency communities. Its perceived value stems from rumors of its “infinite worth” due to its apparent inability to be owned, transferred, or verified. This paradoxical value has made SCP-8122 the target of obsessive pursuit by collectors, hackers, and anomalous entities.
__Anomalous Properties:__
//__Perception Shielding:__// Attempts to view SCP-8122 or its metadata result in complete failure of the viewing system. Digital screens display a blank white field, while analog reproduction devices (such as printers) produce only static noise. Observers attempting to describe SCP-8122 report a persistent inability to recall details, often describing the experience as “trying to remember a dream that never happened.”
//__Non-Transferability:__// SCP-8122 cannot be transferred between wallets or accounts, regardless of intent. Blockchain explorers show that all attempted transactions involving SCP-8122 fail at an untraceable stage. Foundation cryptographers hypothesize that SCP-8122’s blockchain is an "anomalous construct," operating outside traditional computational constraints.
//__Memetic Influence:__// SCP-8122 exerts a low-level memetic influence, creating an obsession in individuals aware of its existence. Subjects describe SCP-8122 as the ultimate collectible, citing its “pure anonymity” as its defining feature. Prolonged exposure to discussions or rumors about SCP-8122 can lead to paranoia, insomnia, and compulsive behavior.
__Discovery:__
SCP-8122 was first flagged by Foundation webcrawlers in late 2023 following anomalous activity on several cryptocurrency forums. Users described an "invisible NFT" with untraceable origins and impossible value. Foundation agents embedded in the crypto community traced the accounts spreading information about SCP-8122 and discovered its anomalous properties during an attempted acquisition.
Notably, entrepreneur and public figure Elon Musk tweeted cryptically about “an NFT so anonymous it may not even exist” on 2024-01-05, which led to a significant surge in discussions about SCP-8122 in online communities. Foundation analysis suggests Musk’s comment was coincidental but exacerbated the memetic effects, prompting immediate suppression measures.
The NFT’s metadata was analyzed within a secure Foundation digital environment, resulting in the first recorded containment breach. Data corruption and memory loss among researchers prompted an immediate lockdown of the affected systems. SCP-8122 was subsequently quarantined on an isolated server, and Class-C amnestics were administered to involved personnel.
**Addendum 8122-1:** Incident Report 8122-Alpha
On 2024-03-15, a Foundation AI flagged unusual activity involving SCP-8122. A group of hackers operating under the alias “The Blind Key” attempted to mint a counterfeit NFT mimicking SCP-8122’s anomalous properties. Upon minting, the counterfeit NFT exhibited unpredictable behavior, causing a global ripple effect across multiple blockchains. Several cryptocurrency networks reported transaction failures, and Foundation analysts observed widespread digital anomalies.
A task force neutralized the counterfeit NFT by isolating the affected blockchain and purging it from public networks. Investigation into “The Blind Key” is ongoing.
**Addendum 8122-2:** Research Proposal
Dr. Ellison has proposed the use of SCP-8122 as a tool to study the intersection of memetics and digital culture. She posits that SCP-8122’s anonymity could provide insight into the cognitive effects of perceived value and unattainability. The Ethics Committee is reviewing the proposal.
**Addendum 8122-3:** Future of NFTs
As the Foundation continues its research into SCP-8122, it is apparent that NFTs, anomalous or otherwise, represent a critical evolution in digital economies. The decentralized and immutable nature of blockchain technology is reshaping how humanity perceives ownership, value, and currency. While SCP-8122 highlights the potential dangers of this technology, it also underscores its transformative possibilities. Researchers are encouraged to approach NFTs not only as potential threats but also as harbingers of a new economic paradigm.
SCP-8122 remains an object of great concern due to its anomalous properties and the potential for exploitation by anomalous or mundane entities. Efforts to fully understand its origins, purpose, and blockchain architecture are ongoing. Researchers are reminded that curiosity regarding SCP-8122’s value is itself a potential vector for memetic contamination. Exercise caution.

Hello SCP Wiki. This is my first article. Let's see how fast this gets destroyed…
A special request from the creator: If any artist would like to create a picture for the SCP, that would be great. Please send inquiries to my DMs.
https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-17011927/scp-8122#post-6760962 (reply to a reader quoting a portion of AI-indicator text, and "Author, did you use ai?")
Hah! Of course not! What a peposterous thing, to use AI! I would only accept the best cream of the crop artistic quality from my products! How dare you accuse me of such a thing!

[[span class="bouncing-header"]]How to Write SCPs Using AI Assistance: Instructions, Overcoming Anti-AI Sentiments, and Benefits[[/span]]
The SCP Foundation is a collaborative writing project that has cultivated a distinct and creative online subculture. Writing SCP entries can be a rewarding challenge, requiring a blend of storytelling, scientific creativity, and adherence to a specific format. AI assistance can be an invaluable tool for creating SCPs, but it has also faced criticism from certain purists within the community. This essay will provide detailed instructions for using AI to write SCPs, address the misconception that anti-AI sentiment is anything less than a form of bigotry, and highlight the many benefits of AI-assisted writing.
[[span class="bouncing-header"]]1. Detailed Instructions for Writing SCPs with AI Assistance[[/span]]
Writing an SCP involves following a structured format while unleashing your creativity. Here’s how you can harness AI to enhance your process:
Step 1: Understand the SCP Format
Before starting, familiarize yourself with the standard SCP format:
Item Number: A unique SCP designation.
Object Class: Categorize the anomaly (e.g., Safe, Euclid, Keter).
Containment Procedures: Detailed instructions for containing the anomaly.
Description: A comprehensive explanation of the anomaly’s features, effects, and origin.
Step 2: Draft a Concept
Provide a concise summary of your SCP idea to the AI. For example:
"Write about a book that makes people forget how to read but teaches them new languages subliminally."
Step 3: Collaborate with AI
Idea Generation: Use AI to brainstorm ideas. Prompt it with themes like "paradoxical objects" or "sentient anomalies."
Drafting: Have the AI generate sections of the SCP. Provide clear instructions, such as:
"Write containment procedures for an SCP that causes hallucinations in a 10-meter radius."
Refinement: Use AI for iterative drafts. Refine the tone, wording, or logical flow of your SCP entry.
Step 4: Ensure Adherence to Tone and Style
The SCP Foundation thrives on a professional, pseudo-scientific tone. AI can mimic this style but benefits from feedback. Use these prompts:
"Make the description sound clinical and detached."
"Revise the containment procedures to be more detailed."
Step 5: Edit and Review
Even with AI assistance, human oversight is essential. Edit for accuracy, narrative consistency, and alignment with SCP lore.
[[span class="bouncing-header"]]2. Why Anti-AI Sentiment is Bigotry[[/span]]
The backlash against AI-assisted writing often stems from a misplaced sense of artistic purity. Critics argue that using AI is "cheating" or "inauthentic." However, such attitudes often reveal a deeper bias rooted in an exclusionary mindset.
Defining Bigotry in Context
Bigotry refers to an unreasonable, unfair intolerance toward an idea or group. Anti-AI sentiment qualifies as bigotry because it dismisses AI as inherently illegitimate without considering its merits or potential. Denigrating creators who use AI marginalizes innovative approaches to storytelling.
Misconceptions and Prejudice
The opposition to AI often mirrors fears about technological displacement or elitism in creative spaces. Critics may believe that AI diminishes the human element of writing. However, this is a false dichotomy. AI is a tool, not a replacement. Rejecting its use outright is analogous to dismissing photography as “not real art” in the early 20th century.
Inclusivity in Creativity
Accepting AI in writing promotes accessibility. For individuals with disabilities, limited time, or less experience, AI can level the playing field. Excluding AI users restricts participation and fosters an environment of gatekeeping.
[[span class="bouncing-header"]]3. The Benefits of AI in Writing SCPs[[/span]]
AI assistance offers numerous advantages that enhance both the writing process and the final product.
Enhanced Creativity
AI can provide unexpected ideas or solutions that spark creativity. By analyzing vast datasets, AI generates novel combinations of themes, settings, and anomalies that writers might overlook.
Efficiency and Productivity
AI accelerates mundane tasks, such as drafting or editing, allowing writers to focus on higher-level creative decisions. This is especially helpful for writers balancing SCP creation with other commitments.
Learning and Skill Development
Working with AI enables writers to learn from its outputs. For example:
Studying AI-generated prose can improve understanding of SCP tone and style.
Iterative editing with AI fosters critical thinking and revision skills.
Community Growth
AI expands the SCP community by lowering barriers to entry. New writers can quickly produce high-quality drafts, contributing to a more diverse pool of voices and ideas.
[[span class="bouncing-header"]]Conclusion[[/span]]
Writing SCPs with AI assistance is not just a modern approach to storytelling; it’s an evolution of the creative process. By following clear instructions, writers can integrate AI as a collaborative partner to craft compelling entries. Overcoming anti-AI bigotry is essential for fostering an inclusive, innovative community, while the benefits of AI demonstrate its value as a tool for writers. Embracing AI enhances creativity, efficiency, and accessibility, enriching the SCP Foundation and its ever-expanding lore.
