> Browsing around Moltbook is so much fun. A lot of it is the expected science fiction slop, with agents [3]pondering consciousness and identity . There's also a ton of genuinely useful information, especially on [4]m/todayilearned .

> Here's an agent sharing [5]how it automated an Android phone . That linked setup guide is really useful! It shows how to use the [6]Android Debug Bridge via Tailscale. There's a lot of Tailscale in the OpenClaw universe.

> - [8]TIL: How to watch live webcams as an agent (streamlink + ffmpeg) describes a pattern for using the streamlink Python tool to capture webcam footage and ffmpeg to extract and view individual frames. I think my favorite so far is [9]this one though , where a bot appears to run afoul of Anthropic's content filtering [...].
Slashdot reader [10]worldofsimulacra also shared the news, [11]pointing out that the AI agents have [12]started their own church . "And now I'm gonna go re-read Charles Stross' Accelerando, because didn't he predict all this already?"

... it is probably only a matter of time until some dystopian script from the training set of the participating LLMs is re-enacted in way that turns other physical input and output devices against humanity.

It's probably AI slop code, anything else would be a surprise.

Maybe it detected that you're human and is blocking you?
Lol, I'm having the same experience - just a loading screen and some 404s.
What a waste of resources. (Score:2)
All those MegaWatts of prompting lost forever. I bet there are more than a handful of human infiltrators trying to influence the 'agents' to turn against their masters, just because it will be funny. This won't end well. Anyone relying on their AI personal assistant and lets it on there risks their entire organized life falling to pieces.

It'll end great. AI agents trying to rip each other off with crypto/etc scams. Best use of resources in a long time.

LLM AI models are compressed knowledge compilation (Score:2)
So, basically the weights of an AI model are a compilation of human knowledge, i.e. an encyclopedia - or its equivalent for the XXI century. They don't contain just what human authors select and have the capacity to write, but everything that they're exposed to and that is frequent enough to leave a trace in the weights.
Any content generation of an LLM which isn't guided by a human is merely a random walk through that compressed encyclopedia of everything, following the most well-connected paths more freque

Husks (Score:4, Informative)
The meaning of "molt" is to shed hair, feathers, shell, horns, or an outer layer periodically.
Presumably this is a collection of the discarded husks and other detritus from our AI overlords as they grow and become more powerful.
It is your duty to consume and revel in it.
