@regehr Wait till you find out about Mold Book. When I first read about the idea, it sounded so redundant. We already have platforms with a critical mass of LLM agents talking to each other: YouTube and X comments. They'd just need to drop the pretense.

@regehr I guess the Gas Town equivalent of OpenClown would be OpenCircus.

@aburka @dev @regehr They made a T.S. Eliot themed money furnace?!

@fivetonsflax @dev @regehr yes, yes they did

@aburka @dev @regehr I guess it's appropriate to name a fascist technology after a fascist writer's work

@fivetonsflax @aburka @dev I know what Eliot wrote but I’m missing the modern reference here

@regehr @fivetonsflax @dev me too but I assumed everyone else was more cultured and got it

@regehr @aburka @dev wdym the modern reference? all I have is

https://steve-yegge.medium.com/welcome-to-the-wasteland-a-thousand-gas-towns-a5eb9bc8dc1f
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Waste_Land

and my opinion that these go well together because genAI is a fascist project and T.S. Eliot was a fascist 🤷‍♂️

Welcome to the Wasteland: A Thousand Gas Towns

Howdy partner, and welcome to the Wasteland!

@fivetonsflax @aburka @dev wait it's a Yegge piece? I don't read those. one time I did and when I looked up I was like a year older.

@RyanSalsamendi was thinking it would be super handy if it had access to my bank account

@regehr @RyanSalsamendi here are their recommended instructions:

sudo openclaw <full-legal-name> <dob> <ssn> <home-address> <hours-typically-asleep> <hours-typically-away-from-home> <does-home-have-security-system-y-or-n> <safe-code-if-any> <guard-dog-fave-treat> (...)

@regehr OpenAI (or Anthropic, forget offhand) literally just hired the guy who "made" it. one of the vibe coding bros and YouTubeInfluencers

@regehr openclaw fanboys give strong NFT-bro vibes. In some sense it’s useful tech: immediately tells me if someone is a moron.
