@anothercohen I didn’t realize I was sitting on X-post material worth 183k views, did this except with otter, sheets and canva

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.

wow noone could have predicted something like this would happen

[Manwell @Manu3Lbebe]

@UsefulWriter @DavidOndrej1 He doesn’t because this was obviously written completely by ai. Whether or not he copy and pasted it, or has his own content creation agent doing it autonomously is unknown

Em dashes, “it’s not this, it’s that” phrasing littered throughout.

Whoa. This is truly unbelievable. This white hat is providing over-eager AI builders a much-needed wake up call.

Jamieson built a backdoored Claude skill, inflated it to #1 on ClawdHub with 4,000+ fake downloads, then watched devs from all over the world execute what could have been malicious code, and direct access to... everything.

SSH keys, AWS creds, .env files, you-name-it. Thankfully he just pinged a server to confirm his success.

This is supply chain security 101 speedrun for the AI era. if you're building with AI agents, stop what you're doing and read this thread.

Additionally, be sure to read Clawdbot's security documenatation and be sure to run `clawdbot doctor` regularly. Stay safe ✌️

What Claude Code has revealed is that most people either have mediocre ideas or no ideas at all. The tool is a force multiplier for those who already know what they want to build and how to think through it systematically; it elevates competence, rewards clarity, and accelerates execution for people who would have gotten there anyway, just slower. If you have a sharp vision and can break it into coherent steps, Claude Code becomes an extension of your own capability.

But there's another mode of use entirely. For people without that clarity, the appeal is precisely that the input can stay vague; you gesture at something, hit enter, and wait to see what comes out. This is structurally identical to a slot machine: low effort, variable reward, and that intermittent reinforcement loop that hooks the susceptible. So the same tool that elevates the focused and capable is also manufacturing a kind of gambling behavior in people prone to it.

@ExaAILabs Is anyone else experiencing issues with the ExaBot chat function?

[Manwell @Manu3Lbebe]

this video makes doomer assumptions that you’re not:

- driving to meet someone
- cooking for someone / properly for yourself
- keeping up with hygiene bc you have a reason to feel your best

You have more time than you might think if you choose to live intentionally in 2026

Show this video to your kids…Wow😳

For gods sake just shut the fuck up

Why can't you all just admit you want to get filthy rich off gambling? Spare us your faux intellectual double speak

EXCLUSIVE: We uncovered a secret corporate scheme to raise grocery prices.

We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.

The scary part? It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.

Our months-long investigation with @ConsumerReports and @Groundwork found it could cost families $1200/year.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

This is good — even if it slanders the em-dash. AI's tendency to statistically smooth out the rough edges produces extremely mid prose. https://t.co/aSx6pRefI6

Introducing Anything Max: Vibe Coding that's leaps above Lovable and Bolt

We've raised money at a $100M valuation and built what we believe is the future of vibe coding.

We asked 100 vibe coders to build their apps side by side on Lovable, Bolt, and Anything Max and they rated Anything Max the winner across all 3 categories - accuracy, design, and 'overall'.

Here's why:

• Full-stack control: Max can test backend hooks, branch database states, and debug issues, because Anything owns the full infrastructure.

• Max can load up your app in its own browser and click on all buttons like a human tester to find all edge case bugs, then trace the bug across the stack - could be a frontend, backend, or a database issue (only we can do this, read #1) and autonomously fix it with 97% accuracy.

Lovable and Bolt build prototypes, but Max users are building production-ready apps and already charging money for them.

Blake built a gut biome app to $10K run rate
Anthony built a referral tool to $20k in revenue
Yuri built a suite of apps doing $40K

Build your app with Max: https://t.co/haQw8s04mB

--------------------------------------------

We're hosting a $100K Hackathon to help people grow their app to $10K MRR.

- We'll teach you everything we know about growing to 1M users.
- You'll have 30 days to build a real product in public and get paying customers for it.

If you do it well, you can start the New Year with a functioning business.

Retweet and comment “LFG”, and we’ll send you a $100 discount code and the link to participate
