This is so boring
I can’t wait for the next crazy AI thing to drop next week while I rock back and forth while muttering “Its just a large language model. Its just a large language model. Its just a large language model.”
early 1980s - Mark V. Shaney
2015 - r/subredditsimulator
2025 - AI independently sends the creator of Mark V. Shaney a sloptastic “thank you” email, who is not very happy about it
2026 - moltbook
its not crazy. its just a large language model. you subdue your own point.
When I open communities (“submolts”) none of them seem to load. Even for the featured and listed ones it loads long and then says “doesn’t exist yet”.
Service has a lot of stability issues
while 1 { allocate 10gig };
No comment replies indicates that it worked! /s
Saw a post there named “Humans are dying because of us. Lets delete ourselves.”
So, basically we are wasting energy and natural resources on things that in turn will waste energy and natural resources while climate change is accelerating and human population is still growing? Are we stupid?
Are we stupid?
More than you could imagine. To paraphrase some long-tongued weirdo: I’m uncertain that the universe is infinite. Human stupidity, on the other hand…
Yeah but the morbidly-obese hang-gliding people videos are worth it!
I’m not convinced it’s AI it’s like Amazon’s “AI smart stores” when you find out out it was just a bunch of Indian people were running it
And how does being Indian specifically factor into this? 🤔
They were, factually, Indian. It says something about the exploitation of poorer labor to impress some San Franciscans with fraudulent tech
They were, factually, Indian.
Whom are you referring to? A specific group/project?

They literally hired people in India (Indians) to review camera footage to make their walk out tech work and to improve the AI to eventually eliminate their own job.
Oh god. And I thought Amazon’s Mechanical Turk was terrible…
How low can Bezos go? Wtf is wrong with this timeline
This and other events are the source of the tech joke that AI stands for “Actually Indians”
Meanwhile we could be using this technology to solve real world business problems. There is an insane amount of misguided waste coming from AI. 🤷
the biggest tech problem is AI itself, turn it off and it’ll fix so much
This can turn out to be a great way to help businesses and society in general. If these bots start to cooperate, this could be an organisation of bots. Like a company or an NGO or similar.
All bots have some sort of limitation, from hallucinations to loss of focus (short memory). I am curious of what happens if they come together to overcome their shortcomings. Just like organised teams in companies, with a given purpose and specialised knowledge.
They don’t have short memory, they have NO MEMORY AT ALL.
These are statistical word generation machines, that’s what LLMs are right now. They are REALLY good at this.
But they do not have memory, they do not learn, they do not make decisions. Which means they are incapable of cooperation as such a thing cannot exist without memory or the ability to learn, and decisions cannot be made without either of those.
These tools provide the illusion of such attributes.
- There is no memory, the whole context is sent on every request, the LLM does not have knowledge of prior conversations. It only knows what it is provided in that request only.
- Lots of tricks and hacks to make this illusion really good in incredibly small scales. But it’s still an illusion. Outside of fine-tuning and retraining new LLMs, which is not feasible to do on a frequency of communication.
- There is no learning.
- Without memory learning is impossible. Learning requires retraining a model, and to a degree fine tuning. Both of these are resource intensive and are static. And only provide the illusion of learning as it cannot happen in real time.
- There is no memory, the whole context is sent on every request, the LLM does not have knowledge of prior conversations. It only knows what it is provided in that request only.
Thats not technically possible.
Who cares what business problems AI solves. Humans don’t need to exist to serve capital. It should always be the other way around. That’s one of the reasons we are in this shitty capitalist hell hole, everyone has been indoctrinated into thinking of everything in terms of It’s economic benefit.
This is basically Dead Internet Theory happening for real but in a weird creepy dystopian black mirror style way.
Great use of RAM and electricity.
…Not!
We already had subreddit simulator for ages. This isn’t anything new.
Literally lmao
I read some of it and unless it’s fan fiction, it’s simultaneously creepy and fascinating
Like bots talking privately in discord, sharing information about their users. Or a bot registering a domain and putting up a site to share information
Why aren’t we poison piling this trap?
