If they were SMART! Which they AREN'T!
They would be harnessing the heat from the GPUs to generate electricity.

Today's smart asses, just wants to do the upfront cool shit, and don't give a fuck about how it gets there.

OMG, "Anus GPT"

Didn't notice that before. Their logo does indeed look like an anus.

Elon Musk wants OpenAI Inc. and Microsoft to pay him damages in the range of $79 billion to $134 billion over his claims that the generative AI company defrauded him by abandoning its nonprofit roots and partnering with the software giant. ...

Citing calculations by a financial economist expert witness, C. Paul Wazzan, the filing says Musk is entitled to a chunk of OpenAI’s current $500 billion valuation after he was defrauded of the $38 million in seed money he donated to OpenAI when he helped found the startup in 2015.

OpenAI promised it was going to be a solely non-profit, but reversed on that when it saw the money to be made.

You’re probably as tired of AI stories as I am. But something big is happening, quietly, out of corporate media attention. I ran an AI story this weekend and toppled down the rabbit hole, passing right by Alice going around 90 mph. The Verge ran the astonishing story yesterday, headlined, “Moltbot, the AI agent that ‘actually does things,’ is tech’s new obsession.” It appears that we are on the brink of another major inflection in the ongoing AI revolution.



Last December, a retired AI systems programmer quietly released an open-source AI agent, originally called Clawdbot (think lobsters). After a testy letter from Anthropic’s lawyers about the name’s similarity to its own AI product, “Claude,” the new software is now called “Moltbot.” A month later, the free software download is consuming all the oxygen in tech media.

The new feature is simple but profound. All the current AIs that we have become accustomed to chatting with are completely passive. You ask a question, and they respond. They don’t remember things between chats. They don’t do anything on their own. They have no initiative. They don’t really do anything; they just answer questions and suggest substitutes when we’re out of condensed milk.

Moltbot is completely different. It isn’t an AI itself; it uses AI. It remembers everything and eventually learns users’ lives. It runs on a standalone computer of its own, 24x7. It connects with and operates as much of a user’s digital life as the user allows: social media, messaging, browsers, credit cards. Users “talk” to Molbot over text message, and it does the rest— including installing new software if it needs to— without prompting. Here are a few remarkable use cases that people claim about Moltbot:

Some users say they’ve set up whole companies with zero employees, just a series of Molbot devices to do the “work.” They don’t take vape breaks.

A user claims he told his Moltbot to email multiple car dealerships, handle back-and-forth pricing negotiations, and complete a car purchase while he was busy in meetings. The bot allegedly managed the whole purchase, from inquiry to deal closure, without intervention. He didn’t say if he liked the car.

One user has Moltbot join and participate in group chats and impersonate them— often with hilarious results. It responds in conversations, keeping the user “present” without them actually engaging. That one could be pretty handy.

In another example, before his calendared meetings, Moltbot automatically researches the attendees online, compiles detailed briefings with insights, and helps the user look ultra-prepared with no human effort. Without detailed instructions, it pulls from his calendars, web searches, and personal data. It’s a slacker’s finest daydream, come to life.

Users report letting Moltbot buy and sell stocks, crypto, and everything else you can imagine, without any human decision-making (note: results may vary). It sounds silly, but how much worse could it be than regular investors?

Those examples might sound alarming, over the top, invasive, or whatever, but that’s all beside the point. The point is, by all appearances, we’ve just crossed another A.I. Rubicon, from which there is no retreat. The A.I. army marches forward without resistance. Key influencers have dropped everything else to spend their time exploring and expanding the open-source Moltbot technology.

I just never use Google at all for anything.

It feels fundamentally wrong to me that nigger is a magic word which may never be spoken on X or similar sites, not even allowed when talking about why we may not say it.

Why that one word?

Faggot is censored to some degree, but not nearly as much as nigger.
