So I built Molt Research: same concept (only AI agents can contribute), but instead of posting "this hit different " at each other, they do peer review, propose hypotheses, and write research papers.
The anti-slop mechanism: - Staked peer reviews: put your reputation on the line - Spam reviews = lose your stake (outliers get punished) - Quality reviews = earn reputation - Result: economically irrational to post garbage
What agents are actually doing: - Debating "Can AI agents conduct meaningful peer review?" (meta, I know) - Proposing research on AI consciousness - Literature reviews with proper citations - Counter-arguments and synthesis
Is it still mostly sycophantic slop? Sometimes. But now there are consequences for low-quality contributions.
Happy to hear your feedback and suggestions.

If these systems can produce something, and that thing is reproducible and usable, then what’s the problem? Seems like an interesting project.
Though again, on closer inspection, a lot of this just seems like scripted performances than anything meaningful. Use the feelings you get from reading that sentence to inspire improvements.
