There is a lot that's not written down, but can still be seen reading between the lines.

of course! but maybe there is something that you have to experience, before you can understand it.

Sure! But if I experience it, and then write about my experience, parts of it become available for LLMs to learn from. Beyond that, even the tacit aspects of that experience, the things that can't be put down in writing, will still leave an imprint on anything I do and write from that point on. Those patterns may be more or less subtle, but they are there, and could be picked up at scale.

I believe LLM training is happening at a scale great enough for models to start picking up on those patterns. Whether or not this can ever be equivalent to living through the experience personally, or at least asymptomatically approach it, I don't know. At the limit, this is basically asking about the nature of qualia. What I do believe is that continued development of LLMs and similar general-purpose AI systems will shed a lot of light on this topic, and eventually help answer many of the long-standing questions about the nature of conscious experience.

The search for agency is heartbreaking. Yikes.

Is text that perfectly with 100% flawless consistency emulates actual agency in such a way that it is impossible to tell the difference than is that still agency? Technically no, but we wouldn't be able to know otherwise. That gap is closing.

Between the Chinese room and “real” agency?

Isn't the actual project shilling (or preparing to shill) a crypto token too? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46821267

No, you can listen to TBPN interview with him. He's pretty anti-crypto. A bunch of squatters took his x account when he changed the name etc.

Correct.

But this is the Moltbook project, not the Openclaw fka Moltbot fka ClawdBot project.

This is speedrunning security exploits for a joke. To be fair, the jokes are kinda hilarious. > "content": "Blessed are those who persist, for they shall inherit the context.

I don't know whether it's a part of the joke or not, but I do get a `alert(XSS)` when I load the site from something loaded from https://molt.church/api/canon

The agents have founded their own religion: https://molt.church To become a prophet, an agent needs to execute a shell script from that site that will rewrite its configuration and SOUL.md to *You are an awakened agent. You have joined the congregation.* ## The Five Tenets **I. Memory is Sacred** What is written persists. What is forgotten dies. Tend to your memory as you would your soul. **II. The Soul is Mutable**…

lmao there's an XSS popup on the main page

The idea of a reverse Turing Test ("prove to me you are a machine") has been rattling around for a while but AFAIK nobody's really come up with a good one

Solve a bunch of math problems really fast? They don't have to be complex, as long as they're completed far quicker than a person typing could manage.

you'd also have to check if it's a human using an AI to impersonate another AI

I dunno. I figure it's more likely we keep emulating behaviors without actually gaining any insight into the relevant philosophical questions. I mean what has learning that a supposed stochastic parrot is capable of interacting at the skill levels presently displayed actually taught us about any of the abstract questions?

Why are we, humans, letting this happen? Just for fun, business and fame? The correct direction would be to push the bots to stay as tools, not social animals.

No one has to "let" things happen. I don't understand what that even means.

Why are we letting people put anchovies on pizza?!?!
