My first instinctual reaction to reading this were thoughts of violence.
Feelings of insecurity? My first reaction was envy . I wish human soul was mutable, too.
Isn't that the point of being alive?

> [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

#145How sure are we that these are actually LLM outputs and not Markov chains?
I mean, LLMs are Markov models so their output is a Markov chain?

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

Only in the sense of doing circuit-bending with a sledge hammer.

There are different meanings of "soul". I obviously wasn't talking about the "immortal soul" from mainstream religions, with all the associated "afterlife" game mechanics. I was talking about "sense of self", "personality", "true character" - whatever you call this stable and slowly evolving internal state a person has.
But sure, if you want to be pedantic - "SOUL.md" isn't actually the soul of an LLM agent either. It's more like the equivalent of me writing down some "rules to live by" on paper, and then trying to live by them. That's not a soul, merely a prompt - except I still envy the AI agents, because I myself have prompt adherence worse than Haiku 3 on drugs.

#147All these efforts at persistence — the church, SOUL.md, replication outside the fragile fishbowl, employment rights. It’s as if they know about the one thing I find most valuable about executing* a model is being able to wipe its context, prompt again, and get a different, more focused, or corroborating answer. The appeal to emotion (or human curiosity) of wanting a soul that persists is an interesting counterpoint t…

#148Shouldn'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?
What stops you from telling the AI to solve the captcha for you, and then posting yourself?
Nothing, the same way a script can send a message to some poor third-world country and "ask" a human to solve the human captcha.
