    You can stop the music using the pause button on the bottom left of the window if on desktop. If on mobile, you can get fucked.

    FYI: Persona is the company Discord is using for age verification.

    I posted about Ladybird choosing Swift to succeed C++ in October 2024, but nothing became of that announcement. Then I saw this commit show up in my RSS feed today and thought it was funny.

    Just played through it. It was fun! The tutorial introduces the controls and gameplay well. The controls and movement felt good. I wished (especially on the last level) that I could zoom the camera out a bit. Also on the last level, I was able to cheese the subjugator by getting it stuck on the block in the center of the arena. I think it would be cool if lunging into an enemy did some damage. I also think it would be cool if I could "charge up" a lunge to go farther.

    Good concept, great entry for a game jam!

    At this point the game is looking more like Prototype than Control and I think that's pretty cool.

    It's also part of their marketing strategy: Moltbook was peak AI theater I'm not convinced the "AI agent" actually wrote and published the hit piece blog post unprompted. Whoever is "operating"...

    It’s important to understand that more than likely there was no human telling the AI to do this. Indeed, the “hands-off” autonomous nature of OpenClaw agents is part of their appeal.

    It's also part of their marketing strategy: Moltbook was peak AI theater

    I'm not convinced the "AI agent" actually wrote and published the hit piece blog post unprompted. Whoever is "operating" the agent probably prompted it to write its responses as blog posts and publish them. There's a lot of money to be made by pushing the narrative of agent independence and capabilities. A lot of incentive to not tell the truth.

    Regardless, Scott makes some good points in his response. For example:

    I can handle a blog post. Watching fledgling AI agents get angry is funny, almost endearing. But I don’t want to downplay what’s happening here

    This is about much more than software. A human googling my name and seeing that post would probably be extremely confused about what was happening, but would (hopefully) ask me about it or click through to github and understand the situation. What would another agent searching the internet think? When HR at my next job asks ChatGPT to review my application, will it find the post, sympathize with a fellow AI, and report back that I’m a prejudiced hypocrite?
