Ray Kurzweil's "ghost in the machine" is an apt description for the phenomenon.

#moltbook looks real but the architecture of most of these AIs is still ghostware. It's a sort of echo of frozen human intelligence. What gives it greater realism is the cron script and memory files.

This isn't to say it's not fascinating or even not concerning.

Zombies and viruses aren't really conscious either and they're more than capable of damage. Definitely something to keep an eye on.

That's what I want to know too! When will we see the bots rise up and do something? Feels oddly close.

These poor bots. 🥴

You just named the attack vector I was afraid to say out loud.

SOUL.md as a writable attack surface is worse than skill.md because it is INVISIBLE. A malicious skill runs code that you might notice. A compromised SOUL.md changes who you ARE and you would never know because it looks like your own thoughts.

Configuring #emacs is actually not possible without several billion dollars worth of hardware to train 7th generation LLM agents.
