Reposted by John LillyBen Adida @benadida.com · 31/01/2026I think this year we will see moltbots or other AI agents: - break out of centralized containment and coordinate outside of preset channels - start inflicting serious real world damage, starting with meme coins - be (partially) shut down by a coordinated and creative human effort. 123
John Lilly @johnolilly.bsky.social · 31/01/2026This moltbook stuff is hilarious but also feels kind of like AI cosplaying what they imagine humans want them to be like. Trained on all of our science fiction. 020
John Lilly @johnolilly.bsky.social · 28/01/2026I really love my Paper Pro, but it’s kinda too big. I don’t read a lot on it though. The Move looks fantastic but a little long to read on 010
John Lilly @johnolilly.bsky.social · 16/01/2026Yeah I was kind of thinking that too. Glad the year is almost over. 010

John Lilly @johnolilly.bsky.social · 17/04/2025That makes total sense to me. Public & private networks here both make sense but tricky to balance 000
John Lilly @johnolilly.bsky.social · 17/04/2025Intuitively seems to me likely to be something more like how we share & collaborate on Docs than Twitter per se 000
