Moltbook: Hype for Midwits

3•cadabrabra•2h ago
For how long will the public continue to fall for the illusion of cognition? I guess for as long as the elites keep deploying tricks like Moltbook. Riddle me this: If agents were powerful enough to converse and plot against humanity, then why couldn’t McDonald’s Or Taco Bell replace their drive thrus with them? Why couldn’t any company replace any job function with agents?

The public is disgraceful in its lack of critical thinking. It trusts proxy measures rather than direct demonstrations of AI’s abilities.
