and moltbook is another entry in the increasing list of products that are designed without any major human input that clearly gives 0 shits about the experience humans have using it.

I wonder if we need to look back at the discovery of bacteria or molds to know how to deal with agents...
"Let's put these agents in a petri dish and see what happens"
"Look! This agent makes software, but only if you keep it in a temperature controlled room in a cave in the Alps"

I'm no philosopher, and I'm usually firmly in the "these are machines - no different than old school ML systems but way better"
Yet, there's something upsetting about these emergent behaviors. Something closer to chemistry or biology than computer science...

I have to say, I don't know what to think about moltbook - or autonomous agents that make their own prompts in general, whether Letta, GasTown or whatever
They clearly interact with the environment. They clearly receive feedback from the environment. They... interpret that feedback as reward?

Companies including American Airlines and Delta use Bombardier planes for regional flights, and any disruption to their ability to fly would upend air travel in the United States. “It would be a transportation disaster,” an aviation consultant said. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump says U.S. will decertify Canadian-made planes, threatens 50% tariff
The president accused Canada of blocking the sale of U.S.-made Gulfstream aircraft and said he would raise tariffs in the latest dispute to rock the once-chummy relationship.

This is poorly written in the article and conducive to dunking in the replies, but it would actually be significant.
US citizen minor children of undocumented ppl are routinely deported. Statutory protections would effectively codify Obama's DAPA (the long lost one) and would be massive.

This has to be the goal post moving of the century.
Claude Code developed, trained, and deployed a classifier. A task that used to require an ML PhD ($1M/yr at Google, in the good old days) + a full stack team, and it would yield the same quality.
The world has changed, and people can't accept it.

Every California gubernatorial candidate, and SF BOS member (hi @jackiefielder.bsky.social) should be asked about this.
You can’t call yourself anti-fascist if your housing policies forces a single voters to move from California to a red state.

Decades of restrictive housing policies by liberal cities and states are finally coming back to bite us in a major way.
If we can't create the conditions for a massive blue state housing construction boom as soon as possible, we're cooked.

“Safe AI” isn’t just about the model.
I’ve seen problems start when AI gets added on top of unclear workflows or messy data.
If the product isn’t stable yet, AI just makes failures harder to see.
