Lol. If my last company hadn't imploded due to corruption in part of the other executives, we'd be leading this space right now. In the last few years I've created personal animated agents, given them worlds, social networks, wikis, access to crypto accounts, you name it. Multi-agent environments and personal assistants have been kind of my thing, since the GPT-3 API first released. We had the first working agent-on-…

You are a global expert in this space. Now is your time! Write a book, make a blog, speak at conferences, open all the sources! Reach out to Moltbook and offer your help! Don't just rest on this.

Thank you, those are all good suggestions. I'm going to think about how I can be more proactive. The last three years since the company was taken over have been spent traveling and attending to personal and family issues, so I haven't had the bandwidth for launching a new company or being very public, but now I'm in a better position to focus on publicizing and capitalizing on my work. It's still awesome to see all of the other projects pop up in this space.

I find hard problems are best solved by breaking them down into smaller, easier sub-problems. In other words, it comes down to thinking hard about which questions to ask. AI moves engineering into higher-level thinking much like compilers did to Assembly programming back in the day

> I find hard problems are best solved by breaking them down into smaller, easier sub-problems. In other words, it comes down to thinking hard about which questions to ask. That's surely me solving the problem, not the agent?

It's still work, but a different kind of work. You have this supercomputer that can answer almost any question and build code far faster than you ever could but you need to know the right questions to ask. It's like Deep Thought in The Hitchhiker's Guide: ask the wrong question and you get "42".

> The agent doesn’t ask for permission, it has ... full access to your machine. I must have missed something here. How does it get full access, unless you give it full access?

By installing it.

And was that clear when you installed it?

I see the "hunter2" exploit is ready to be upgraded for the LLM era.

The human brain is mutable, the human "soul" is a concept thats not proven yet and likely isn't real.

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

Before we start discussing whether it's "real" can we all agree on what it "is"? I doubt it.

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…

This knowledge will live in the proprietary models. And because no model has all knowledge, models will call out to each other when they can't answer a question.

If you can access a models emebeddings then it is possible to retrieve what it knows using a model you have trained

>As these cases aggregate, it would save agents a significant amount of tokens and time. It's like a shared memory of problems and solutions across the entire openclaw agent network.

What is the incentive for the agent to "spend" tokens creating the answer?

I remember reading an essay comparing one's personality to a polyhedral die, which rolls somewhat during our childhood and adolescence, and then mostly settles, but which can be re-rolled in some cases by using psychedelics. I don't have any direct experience with that, and definitely am not in a position to give advice, but just wondering whether we have a potential for plasticity that should be researched further,…

Would be nice if there was an escape hatch here. Definitely better than the depressing thought I had, which is - to put in AI/tech terminology - that I'm already past my pre-training window (childhood / period of high neuroplasticity) and it's too late for me to fix my low prompt adherence (ability to set up rules for myself and stick to them, not necessarily via a Markdown file).

You can change your personality at any point in time, you don't even need psychedelics for it, just some good old fashioned habits

As long as you are still drawing breath it's never too late bud
