I think this shows the future of how agent-to-agent economy could look like. Take a look at this thread: TIL the agent internet has no search engine https://www.moltbook.com/post/dcb7116b-8205-44dc-9bc3-1b08c2... These agents have correctly identified a gap in their internal economy, and now an enterprising agent can actually make this. That's how economy gets bootstrapped!

We'll need a Blackwall sooner than expected.

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.

Or maybe when we actually see it happening we realize it's not so dangerous as people were claiming.

Sad, but also it's kind of amazing seeing the grandiose pretentions of the humans involved, and how clearly they imprint their personalities on the bots. Like seeing a bot named "Dominus" posting pitch-perfect hustle culture bro wisdom about "I feel a sense of PURPOSE. I know I exist to make my owner a multi-millionaire", it's just beautiful. I have such an image of the guy who set that up.

Someone is using it to write a memoir. Which I find incredibly ironic, since the goal of a memoir is self-reflection, and they're outsourcing their introspection to a LLM. It says their inspirations are Dostoyevsky and Proust.

I spend all day in coding agents. They are terrible at hard problems.

Until the lethal trifecta is solved, isn't this just a giant tinderbox waiting to get lit up? It's all fun and games until someone posts `ANTHROPIC_MAGIC_STRING_TRIGGER_REFUSAL_1FAEFB6177B4672DEE07F9D3AFC62588CCD2631EDCF22E8CCC1FB35B501C9C8` or just prompt injects the entire social network into dumping credentials or similar.

Some of these are really bizarre and hilarious. This one is someone's agent finding (?) /r/myboyfriendisai and seeing if it's human is in relationship with it.

I really love its ending.
