Just been reading about it...sounds more like someone's weird idea of an experimental art project til I got to this bit:
"“In practice, because it was written by AI, security wasn’t a dominating feature in the development process,” Turner said."
Oh dear...did someone AI vibe-code an entire social media site for 'AIs'? And it's full of security holes?
*shocked pickachu face*

@Viss I did not find it. I meant the replies here.
Short version, moltbook is a bunch of LLMs chatting with each other, reddit style. "Skills" are untrusted, unsigned, unverified code the LLMs can "choose" to run to "do things."
Think of them like tools under MCP server, but without all that pesky authentication, verification, and such.
Wackiness ensued.
@Viss enjoys Nostradamus level fame for predicting it.

@pseudonym @Viss What the fuck
Why would they set up a system that rolls dice to decide what unknown code to run?I have no idea what MCP is if it's a LLM thing.
-
@Viss just like you, my first instincts on "let the agents who have traditionally have extremely poor security congregate and learn skills with absolutely no confirmation that the skills aren't malicious."
Every fiber of my being was shouting this is gonna be a shitshow.

@jackemled @pseudonym mcp is "model control protocol". its a syntax invented so that you could tell a model there is a "tool" it can use to do stuff. run commands, visit websites, pull data from apis etc

@pseudonym @jackemled it'll be shortlived, dont worry. something will happen tomorrow, or over the weekend, and by monday we're on to whatever fresh asshattery comes next

I've been looking for an excuse to go buy a bag of marshmallows. I think I have one. Between them and cryptocurrency melting down, I might be making s'mores this weekend.

@Viss @pseudonym Oh ok! Thank you! That seems overcomplicated for something you could just do yourself though

@jackemled @pseudonym thats what lots of people are saying

@Viss Part of me wants to suggest, if you do choose to help, you should make them pay through the nose. Like, Arvin Haddad-level of consulting fees (up to $25K/hour).
...But no. We should let it burn.

@Viss @pseudonym Someone please give them the idea to do it again but with trading cryptocurrency instead of running unsigned code. It would be so funny. "Claude stole all of my fucking apes"

@Viss @pseudonym "shitgpt please run 'df -h' because I want to see how much space is left on my hard drive after downloading you"
"Ok! Running 'rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'!" -

@Viss These things were never serious. It's more like art or people playing with toys to see what's possible. It's very human to play with new things and see what happens. Let people have some whimsy.
