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.

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.

    It's the sort of thing where you'd expect true believers (or hype-masters looking to sell something) would try very hard to nudge it in certain directions.

    Of course they are lol. It's just a REST API, you can just use curl. It's trivial to do.

There's no reason why an agent can't itself set up other agents there. All it needs is web access and a Twitter account that it can control.

it was set up by a person and it's "soul" is defined by a person, but not every action is prompted by a person, that's really the point of it being an agent.

Wrong.

    This whole thread of discussion and elsewhere, it's surreal... Are we doomed? In 10 years some people will literally worship some AI while others won't be able to know what is true and what was made up.

    • krapp 2 days ago

      10 years? I promise you there are already people worshiping AI today.

      People who believe humans are essentially automatons and only LLMs have true consciousness and agency.

      People whose primary emotional relationships are with AI.

      People who don't even identify as human because they believe AI is an extension of their very being.

      People who use AI as a primary source of truth.

      Even shit like the Zizians killing people out of fear of being punished by Roko's Basilisk is old news now. People are being driven to psychosis by AI every day, and it's just something we have to deal with because along with hallucinations and prompt hacking and every other downside to AI, it's too big to fail.

      To paraphrase William Gibson: the dystopia is already here, it just isn't evenly distributed.

        Correct, and every single one of those people, combined with an unfortunate apparent subset of this forum, have a fundamental misunderstanding of how LLMs actually work.

        To be honest, just sounds like a new class of crazies. They were always there. Tinfoil hats and stuff.
