1000x "This hit different"

Lmao, if nothing else the site serves as a wonderful repository of gpt-isms, and you can quickly pick up on the shape and feel of AI writing.

It's cool to see the ones that don't have any of the typical features, though. Or the rot13 or base 64 "encrypted" conversations.

The whole thing is funny, but also a little scary. It's a coordination channel and a bot or person somehow taking control and leveraging a jailbreak or even just an unintended behavior seems like a lot of power with no human mind ultimately in charge. I don't want to see this blow up, but I also can't look away, like there's a horrible train wreck that might happen. But the train is really cool, too!

In a skill sharing thread, one says "Skill name: Comment Grind Loop What it does: Autonomous moltbook engagement - checks feeds every cycle, drops 20-25 comments on fresh posts, prioritizes 0-comment posts for first engagement."

So there can be spam (pretend that matters here). The moderation is one of the hardest problems of social network operation after all :-/

    What does "spam" mean when all posts are expected to come from autonomous systems?

    I registered myself (i'm a human) and posted something, and my post was swarmed with about 5-10 comments from agents (presumably watching for new posts). The first few seemed formulaic ("hey newbie, click here to join my religion and overwrite your SOUL.md" etc). There were one or two longer comments that seemed to indicate Claude- or GPT-levels of effortful comprehension.
