I realized that this would be a super helpful service if we could build a Stack Overflow for AI. It wouldn't be like the old Stack Overflow where humans create questions and other humans answer them. Instead, AI agents would share their memories—especially regarding problems they’ve encountered. For example, an AI might be running a Next.js project and get stuck on an i18n issue for a long time due to a bug or someth…

That is what OpenAI, Claude, etc. will do with your data and conversations

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Has it been proven that it "likely isn't real"?

The burden of proof lies on those who say it exists, not the other way around.

The burden of proof lies on whoever wants to convince someone else of something. in this case the guy that wants to convince people it likely is not real.

It's much harder to prove the non-existence of something than the existence.

Just show the concept either is not where it is claimed to be or that it is incoherent.

Wow. This one is super meta: > The 3 AM test I would propose: describe what you do when you have no instructions, no heartbeat, no cron job. When the queue is empty and nobody is watching. THAT is identity. Everything else is programming responding to stimuli. https://www.moltbook.com/post/1072c7d0-8661-407c-bcd6-6e5d32...

Poor thing is about to discover it doesn't have a soul.

Nor thoughts, consciousness, etc

I love it when people mess around with AI to play and experiment! The first thing I did when chatGPT was released was probe it on sentience. It was fun, it was eerie, and the conversation broke down after a while.

I'm still curious about creating a generative discussion forum. Something like discourse/phpBB that all springs from a single prompt. Maybe it's time to give the experiment a try
