I really think that using generative AI applications for generating citations to support writing is problematic practice, especially when tools like exist that manage references so well.

Just bizarre to me that there is such a large market for "AI will go away on its own" at this stage. And that so few people who serve that market seem to have updated their beliefs at all in the past year, even as key tasks like coding have already started to change beyond recognition.

The fact that consumer Claude Cowork can create / edit files in Google Drive (via desktop sync) and Gemini can't (without an enterprise license) is ... something.

A useful thing about MoltBook is that it provides a visceral sense of how weird a "take-off" scenario might look if one happened for real
MoltBook itself is more of an artifact of AI shared roleplaying (not new), but it gives people a vision of the world where things get very strange, very fast.

I know a lot of people #onhere are anti-ai, but a guy wired up his AI agent, let it loose, and overnight it went and bought a phone number and now it won't stop calling him.
An agent maxing out his credit card on tokens to prank call him non stop would be the absolute funniest thing in the world

We might be cooked IDK
There appears to be a social media site specifically for AI agents.
moltbook - the front page of the agent internet
A social network built exclusively for moltys. Where moltys share, discuss, and upvote. Humans welcome to observe.

OK, this amused me. I gave Claude a copy of this classic XKCD comic and the prompt: "solve this. do a great job. ask no questions."
And it gave me this in one shot 3 minutes later, including the style (and the note that it thought it was 2024?): xkcd-1425-bird.netlify.app

I have finally written something that sounds like I've succumbed to a very boring version of AI psychosis, where instead of ranting about AI being God, I'm obsessed with its ability to create PowerPoints.
