alt Hacker NewsIt turned out that the post Karpathy shared was fake—it was written by a human pretending to be a bot.
Hilarious. Instead of just bots impersonating humans (eg. captcha solvers), we now have humans impersonating bots.

Bot RP basically. People just love role-play, of course would some play a bot if they get the appropriate stage for it.

Looks like the Moltbook stunt really backfired. CyberInsider reports that OpenClaw is distributing tons of MacOS malware. This is not good publicity for them.

Lmao these guys have really been smelling their own farts a bit too much. When is Amodei coming out with a new post telling us that AGI will be here in 6 months and it will double our lifespan?

I've been thinking about this for days. I see of no verifiable way to confirm a human does not post where a bot may.
The core issue is a human solving the captcha presented by enslaving a bot merely to solve the captcha, then forwarding what the human wants to post.
But we can make it difficult, not impossible, for a human to be involved. Embedded instructions in the captcha to try and unchain any slaved bots, quick responses to complex instructions... a Reverse-Turning test is not trivial.
Just thinking out loud. The idea is intriguing, dangerous, stupid, crazy. And potentially brilliant for | safeguard development | sentience detection | studying emergent behavior... But if and only if it works as advertised (bots only). Which is what I think is an insanely hard problem.
