Sounds like maybe they found more than popups when they investigated...

"Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo" is a tautology but still a sentence
Oregano?
Sous vide 🤤
Check out SpaceChem, matches most of your bullet points. It's a level-based puzzle game like Opus Magnum though.
I have over 500 hours in Particle Fleet: Emergence. Very chill level-based game where you can slowly move forward and beat a map over an hour or so. All the Knuckle Cracker games have tons and tons of user content available so there's no shortage of maps to play.
I've only had it really screw up once but it was really interesting. I was asking if to calculate the probability of something and it started calculating but got something basic wrong. In the same response, it apologized for that being wrong and started over, but made the same error. It kept looping through this while I watched. I thought it was kind of freaky it was aware it was fucking up but kept doing the same thing over and over. I've never seen it disagree with itself on the same response, either.
I eventually had to hit the button to stop the generation and sent logs.

I spent ten seconds looking this up and it's bullshit. The captions don't match what he's saying, he doesn't mention nuclear weapons at all.
I never really understood this. What's the difference between sealioning and calling someone out for saying stupid shit? I feel like "sealioning" only exists as a term people can use to reframe a situation from "I talked shit and can't/won't back it up yet won't admit it" to "you're aggressing against me by expecting me to stand behind or explain my words". Am I just a big dunderhead?
Edit: oh ok, I RTFA lol, makes a lot more sense. I guess the original comic is just not a great example of it in my opinion, but that makes sense since it's just a silly comic
