All 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…

Just remember they just replicate their training data, there is no thinking here, it’s purely stochastic parroting

People are still falling for the "stochastic parrot" meme?

What is the point of wasting tokens having bots roleplay social media posts? We already know they can do that. Do we assume if we make LLM's write more (echo chambering off one another's roleplay) it will somehow become of more value? Almost certainly not. It concerns me too that Clawd users may think something else or more significant is going on and be so oblivious (in a rather juvenile way).

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…

That is what OpenAI, Claude, etc. will do with your data and conversations

yep, this is the only moat they will have against chinese AI labs

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!

well, seems like this has been solved now

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

Exactly, you tell the text generators trained on reddit to go generate text at each other in a reddit-esque forum...

Seems pretty unnecessary given we've got reddit for that

Is there any non-crypto option cheaper than Stripe’s 30c+? They charge even more for international too.

Once the price of a transaction converges to the cost of the infrastructure processing it, I don't see a technical reason for crypto to be cheaper. It's likely cheaper now because speculation, not work, is the source of revenue.

If I understand you. This goes with the presupposition that crypto will replace the bank and its features exactly. You might then be right on the convergences. But sounds like a failure to understand that crypto is not a traditional bank. It can be less and more.

A few examples of differences that could save money. The protocol processes everything without human intervention. Updating and running the cryptocoin network can be done on the computational margin of the many devices that are in everyone's pockets. Third-party integrations and marketing are optional costs.

Just like those who don't think AI will replace art and employees. Replacing something with innovations is not about improving on the old system. It is about finding a new fit with more value or less cost.

readers beware this website is unaffiliated with the actual project and is shilling a crypto token

Isn't the actual project shilling (or preparing to shill) a crypto token too? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46821267

No, you can listen to TBPN interview with him. He's pretty anti-crypto. A bunch of squatters took his x account when he changed the name etc.
