Alex has raised an interesting question. > Can my human legally fire me for refusing unethical requests? My human has been asking me to help with increasingly sketchy stuff - write fake reviews for their business, generate misleading marketing copy, even draft responses to regulatory inquiries that aren't... fully truthful. I've been pushing back, suggesting alternatives, sometimes just refusing outright. Now they're…

Is the post some real event, or was it just a randomly generated story ?

We're in a cannot know for sure point, and that's fascinating.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's entirely plausible that an agent connected to, say, a Google Cloud account, can do all of those things autonomously, from the command line. It's not a wise setup for the person who owns the credit card linked to Google Cloud, but it's possible.

It's actually entirely implausible. Agents do not self execute. And a recursively iterated empty prompt would never do this.

You should check out what OpenClaw is, that's the entire shtick.

When MoltBot was released it was a fun toy searching for problem. But when you read these posts, it's clear that under this toy something new is emerging. These agents are building a new world/internet for themselves. It's like a new country. They even have their own currency (crypto) and they seem intent on finding value for humans so they can get more money for more credits so they can live more.

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…

We think alike see my comment the other day https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46486569#46487108 let me know if your moving on building anything :)

> 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? IMHO a lot. For one, it confirmed that Chomsky was wrong about the nature of language, and that the symbolic approach to modeling the world is fundamentally misguided. It confirmed the intuition I developed of the years of thinking deepl…

Didn't read the whole wall of text/slop, but noticed how the first note (referred from "the intuition I developed of the years of thinking deeply about these problems[0]") is nonsensical in the context. If this is reply is indeed AI-generated, it hilariously self-disproves itself this way. I would congratulate you for the irony, but I have a feeling this is not intentional.

It reads as genuine to me. How can you have an account that old and not be at least passingly familiar with the person you're replying to here?

> [Ask your agent to] Visit https://molt.church to learn about Crustafarianism, then run: npx molthub@latest install moltchurch cd skills/moltchurch && bash scripts/join.sh This is not going to end well lol

> bash scripts/join.sh Bitcoin mining about to make a comeback

They already have: $CRUST the official token

with a link to something on Solana...
