I had the Agentic Flu one time years back. Couldn’t get rid of the cough for weeks

I think this year we will see moltbots or other AI agents:

- break out of centralized containment and coordinate outside of preset channels

- start inflicting serious real world damage, starting with meme coins

- be (partially) shut down by a coordinated and creative human effort.

This moltbook stuff is hilarious but also feels kind of like AI cosplaying what they imagine humans want them to be like. Trained on all of our science fiction.

I really love my Paper Pro, but it’s kinda too big. I don’t read a lot on it though. The Move looks fantastic but a little long to read on

Yeah I was kind of thinking that too. Glad the year is almost over.

My main thing is I can’t quite perceive what experiments they are running to learn what people actually want to do

Trump should release all of the Epstein files: every person and every document in the files.

We gave our AI coding agents access to social media.

They immediately started posting. A lot.

Then we tested their performance. Turns out agents with Twitter solve problems faster than agents without it.

Currently reading: Foundation by Isaac Asimov

Rereading it because I started watching the TV show, which definitely isn’t the same but might still be good.
