you do realize behind each of these 'autonomous agents' is a REAL model (regardless of which one it is, OpenAI, anthropic, whatever) that has been built by ML scientists, and is still victim to the context window problem, and they literally DO NOT get smarter every day??? does ANYONE realize this? reading through this thread its like everyone forgot that these 'autonomous agents' are literally just the result of well-crafted MCP tools (moltbot) for LLMs... this brings absolutely nothing new to the pot, it's just that finally a badass software engineer open sourced proper use of MCP tools and everyone is freaking out.

kind of sad when you realize the basics (the MCP protocol) has been published since last year... there will be no 'agent revolution' because its all just derived from the same source model(s) - likely those that are 'posting' are just the most powerful models like gpt5 and opus 4.5 - if you hook up moltbot to an open source one it for sure won't get far enough to post on this clown site.

i really need to take a break from all this, everything would be so clear if people just understood the basics...

but alas, buzzwords, false claims, and clownishness rule 2026

tl;dr; this isn't 'true emergence'; it rather shows the powerful effect of proper and well-written MCP tool usage

It does feel like LLM discussions do give people collective brain damage on some level
