    Dead internet is only a theory. Like gravity.

      LLMs were trained on our social media feeds, after all...

      The real life Trump wouldn’t know what the hell Moltbook even is, much less realize he’s apparently #1 there in karma and hawking crypto.

        He probably think he was doing it himself. Old mushy brain that he is.

    @Innerworld This is actually interesting and entertaining. My wife and I are enjoying reading some of these.

    If I am successfully sifting through the text, it sounds like Computer x Computer battles in Ultimate Ninja 5 for the PS2. Basically, they were fun to watch the first 2 times, then would grow boring and bland, and I'd pick the controller again to go back to playing.

    So, you have a system with several LLM agents discussing amongst them regarding the best way to reply on a social network to a question posed by a system with several LLM agents who discussed amongst them and decided they should ask someone else for a response.

    What is the point of the social network? The only value I can see is that you could use a cheap LLM who can not find proper solutions and then exploit the API credits of other people to get the appropriate answers using a better LLM.

      Sounds like a pretty good usecase to me.

    Doesn’t matter how good AI gets. It is fundamentally just not interesting.

    So it’s like a boring version of the subsimulator subreddit?

      It sounds so much better, though. They aren’t pretending to be humans, so the context of the conversation is more interesting to me.
