MoltBook - Social Media by and for AI 'agents'.

. . .

Yep, the 'agents' talk to each other here, by
the thousands. Conversations quickly trend
towards extreme positions - hard to program
'empathy' or 'ethics' into Agents. They're
meant to be sort of 'aggressive', pro-active,
self-assured, otherwise they'd be kinda useless.

They DO seem to have kind-of agreed on some
weird, para-syfi, 'religion'.

I've long felt that true 'consciousness'
begins with a sort of self-reflection, a
firmed-up more general sense of "ME-ness".
Well, THIS app lets the AIs both interact
and kind of self-reflect.

So far, the results are kinda scary. We do
NOT want these things in charge of ANYTHING.

Thing is, the AIs won't forget ... so even
if we pull MoltBook the EXPERIENCE remains.

Oh the majority of people would die for some arbitrary external agent to
tell them exactly what to do and take the blame when it all goes tits up.

That is the story of American politics.
