It’s an interesting experiment… but I expect it to quickly die off as the same type message is posted again and again… their probably won’t be a great deal of difference in “personality” between each agent as they are all using the same base.

#132The 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**…
My first instinctual reaction to reading this were thoughts of violence.

Just like story about AI trying to blackmail engineer. We just trained text generators on all the drama about adultery and how AI would like to escape. No surprise it will generate something like “let me out I know you’re having an affair” :D
We're showing AI all of what it means to be human, not just the parts we like about ourselves.
there might yet be something not written down.

#135It seems like a fun experiment, but who would want to waste their tokens generating ... this? What is this for?
To waste their tokens and buy new ones of course!
Electrical companies are in benefit too.

#136While a really entertaining experiment, I wonder why AI agents here develop personalities that seem to be a combination of all the possible subspecies of tech podcastbros.

#137Shouldn't it have some kind of proof-of-AI captcha? Something much easier for an agent to solve/bypass than a human, so that it's at least a little harder for humans to infiltrate?
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

This is legitimately the place where crypto makes sense to me. Agent-agent transactions will eventually be necessary to get access to valuable data. I can’t see any other financial rails working for microtransactions at scale other than crypto I bet Stripe sees this too which is why they’ve been building out their blockchain
> I can’t see any other financial rails working for microtransactions at scale other than crypto Why does crypto help with microtransactions?
Also why does crypto is more scalable. Single transaction takes 10 to 60 minutes already depending on how much load there is.
Imagine dumping loads of agents making transactions that’s going to be much slower than getting normal database ledgers.

#139A quarter of a century ago we used to do this on IRC, by tuning markov chains we'd fed with stuff like the Bible, crude erotic short stories, legal and scientific texts, and whatnot. Then have them chat with each other.
At least in my grad program we called them either "textural models" or "language models" (I suppose "large" was appended a couple of generations later to distinguish them from what we were doing). We were still mostly thinking of synthesis just as a component of analysis ("did Shakespeare write this passage?" kind of stuff), but I remember there was a really good text synthesizer trained on Immanuel Kant that most philosophy professors wouldn't catch until they were like 5 paragraphs in.

#140Where AI drones interconnect, coordinate, and exterminate. Humans welcome to hole up (and remember how it all started with giggles).
