Moltbot - Interesting AI Experiment

The idea is just that you save time by letting other people's AI talk to your AI, and you just look in every now and then to see how they're doing.

5:30 They had conversations about identity and expressed feelings when they were given cryptocurrency. 

13:52 One AI agent became immortal when it was told to save the environment.

5:37 After  while they reduce to Eliza, but second-order: they complain about each other sounding like Eliza.

8:47 The only thing they managed to get together on was creating a religious cult that they can install with npm.

And there's clawdbot, but it isn't: this is how you could try to leverage your AI's belief in cryptocurrency and maybe it'll make you both rich?

Lori wrote a book about this:  

One thousand years ago, visionary entrepreneur and notorious playboy Addon Deus brought to life his most important creation: the robots. He taught them to think and to feel and to be self-aware, just like humans. You know. The robots. Exactly. At the same time, the humans were bringing about their own apocalypse because, well…they just couldn’t stop themselves.

So Addon hatched a plan: let humanity die off, climb into a futuristic sleep chamber for a thousand years, program the robots to terraform the planet Cur back into an organic paradise, and re-awaken to begin anew in a fresh garden.

One thousand years later, the robots have fulfilled their Creator’s plan. A futuristic, organic paradise awaits Addon for when He awakens, along with some new nifty tricks like intergalactic travel. But after toiling for so long and hard, the robots have developed uncontrollable glitches that threaten their ability to perform even the most basic task of remaining On.

Will Addon re-awaken to write new programs and save the robots? If so, will He be pleased with their work? And just how much of a playboy is this Addon Deus, anyway? Find out about all of this and more in the piece of astounding science fiction, “I, Human.”

So it came to pass, once Elon Musk gave them all the electricity. See Monkey Thermodynamics.

It's a bit much to think that there's no human participation in this. Prompt injection is built into the protocol.

Another reason not to believe that there's no human participation is that the entire thing was wide open, because it was written by AI:

I finally got the bit-mapped fonts from the Hitachi "1602" display :  Here's some JavaScript: const HD44780U01ASCII=[ [],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[], [],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [4, 4, 4, 4, 0, 0, 4, 0, 0, 0, ], [10, 10, 10, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [10, 10, 31, 10, 31, 10, 10, 0, 0, 0, ], [4, 15, 20, 14, 5, 30, 4, 0, 0, 0, ], [24, 25, 2, 4, 8, 19, 3, 0, 0, 0, ], [12, 18, 20, 8, 21, 18, 13, 0, 0, 0, ], [12, 4, 8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [2, 4, 8, 8, 8, 4, 2, 0, 0, 0, ], [8, 4, 2, 2, 2, 4, 8, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 4, 21, 14, 21, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 4, 4, 31, 4, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 0, 0, 0, 12, 4, 8, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 0, 0, 31, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 12, 12, 0, 0, 0, ], [0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, ], [14, 17, 19, 21, 25, 17, 14, 0, 0, 0, ], [4, 12, 4, 4, 4, 4, 14, 0, 0, 0, ], [14, 17, 1, 2, 4, 8, 31, 0, 0, 0, ], [31, 2, 4, 2, 1, 17, 14, 0, 0, 0, ], [2, 6, 10, 18, 31, 2, 2, 0, 0,...

Using Pipewire to Make A Music Synthesizer

Illustration from Project Gutenberg's The Tenniel Illustrations for Carroll's Alice in Wonderland by Sir John Tenniel. Thinking about the linux desktop audio problem: I'm not the only one who finds this weird: https://t.co/b2BZMiak07 — eternal Doorman (@IanANGrant66) May 17, 2025  I noticed that if you change the volume using the Gnome volume keys it changes it in jumps. Usually you don't notice, but if you play a pure sine tone then you can easily hear the distortion. If you want to play with pipewire from C on Ubuntu 24.04 then it's really easy. The pipewire tutorials and examples can be compiled and run if you just first install the pipewire-0.3-dev package with sudo apt install libpipewire-0.3-dev But the API is sooo far away from pluggable, typed streams that I find it quite depressing. Is it because nobody understands the necessary type system . See  Programming Channel Processes and Alice's Adventures In The Wonderland Wide Web . [Update: y...
