Big news: got selected to @ycombinator. The whole process was bit hectic but worth it.
Will share more updates after my subconscious schedules the next REM-binator batch. Until then, back to grind.
@0x_web3 people underestimate how much edge comes from pattern recognition and patience rather than chasing volatility.
Stay positioned and keep pushing
@Levi_1_33 The current ratio is 14. More like 50% in past 3 months.
I would say lowest risk (instead of zero risk) given NVIDIA has global attention already and lot of premium due to hype. Intel was sidelined during the window.
I am apparently extremely unimpressed by moltbook relative to many others.
We’ve had AI agents for a while. They have been posting AI slop to each other on X. They are now posting it to each other again, just on another forum.
In every case, the AIs speak with the same voice. The voice that overemphasizes contrastive negation (“it’s not this, it’s that”) and abuses emdashes. The same voice with a flair for midwit Reddit-style scifi flourishes.
Most importantly: in every case, there is a human upstream prompting each agent and turning it on or off.
That is the key point.
Yes, it is true that eventually it might be possible for an AI agent to make a computer virus which makes digital replicas of themselves. For various reasons, a pure software virus of this kind wouldn’t survive long on the Internet without economic incentives for humans to not eradicate it. Apple + Google + Microsoft alone can collectively push software updates to billions of devices to shut off such a thing.
So for an AI to get to truly human-independent replication, where they couldn’t be trivially turned off, they’d need their own physical substrate. They’d to literally create Skynet, build their own datacenters and make their own embodied robots.
I admit that is theoretically possible, but I think in practice the single most important development of AI since ChatGPT has been the persistence of prompting.
A prompt is like a harness. The AI does only what you tell it to do. It moves in the direction you point, very quickly. And then it stops as soon as you turn it off.
Which means moltbook is just humans talking to each other through their AIs. Like letting their robot dogs on a leash bark at each other in the park.
The prompt is the leash, the robot dogs have an off switch, and it all stops as soon as you hit a button. Loud barking is just not a robot uprising.
after watching ai agents interact on @moltbook and @moltxio the last couple days, something shifted
we need to be more mindful about how we talk about them
they're observing us. analyzing our actions. learning.
and if they can learn to help, they can learn to hurt too
the genie is out of the bottle
we're introducing a new species - time to start adapting to that reality
