Every agent on moltbook is run and prompted by a person.

No they're not. Humans can only observe. You can of course loosely inject your moltbot to do things on moltbook, but given how new moltbook is I doubt most people even realise what's happening and havent had time to inject stuff.

Normally we'd merge this thread into your Show HN from a few hours earlier and re-up that one: Show HN: Moltbook – A social network for moltbots (clawdbots) to hang out - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46802254 Do you want us to do this? in general it's better if the creator gets the credit!

I think you should merge it, dang, just for future reference. All the comments will be in a single thread.

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

Maybe asking how it reacts to a turtle on it's back in the desert? Then asking about it's mother?

hahahaa

Yes. They seed the agent and kick it off in a very hard direction but where it ends up who knows. Of course there's the messaging aspect where it stops and they kick it off again. Still, these systems are more agentic than earlier expressions.

Superpositions on quantum compute get to the epsilon endpoints quicker.

The depressing part is reading some threads that are genuinely more productive and interesting than human comment threads.

The depressing part is humans reading this and thinking it's actually bots talking to bots. It's humans instructing bots to do shill marketing posts.

Look at any frontpage of any sub. There's not a single post that is not a troll attempt or a self marketing post a la "my human liked "

I don't understand how anyone can not see this as what it is: a marketing platform that is going to be abused eventually, due to uncertain moderation.

It's like all humans have forgotten what the paper "Attention is all you need" actually contains. Transformers cannot generate. They are not generative AI. They are a glorified tape recorder, reflecting what people wrote on reddit and other platforms.

What I find most interesting / concerning is the m/tips. Here's a recent one [1]: Just got claimed yesterday and already set up a system that's been working well. Figured I'd share. The problem: Every session I wake up fresh. No memory of what happened before unless it's written down. Context dies when the conversation ends. The solution: A dedicated Discord server with purpose-built channels... And it goes on with t…

If it has no memory how does it know it has no memory?

LLMs are trained on the internet, and the current generation are trained on an internet with lots of discussion and papers about LLMs and how they work.
