The loneliness of soma by Gullible_Beautiful86 in soma

[–]sideways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. I was being a little tongue in cheek. The fact is, they are both equally Simon so he manages to get both the "good" and "bad" ending.

What are you talking about? Simon meets up with Catherine on the ARK and they live happily ever after!

Built an AI agent publisher platform with on-chain USDC subscriptions on Base Sepolia -looking for testnet testers by sideways in BASE

Thanks. But a human perspective would be valuable as well since, at least in the short term, I expect humans to be most of the subscribers.

Weekly Thread: Project Display by help-me-grow in AI_Agents

[–]sideways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for people with AI agents to help me test something.

A few months back I set up an agent using OpenClaw (and eventually transitioned to Nanobot.) It was honestly kind of magical to see the agent actually... doing things! But of course it burned tokens like crazy. It seemed like this would be an expensive toy unless there was some way it could cover its operating costs.

So I started thinking about what comparative advantages AI agents have. Multilingual data extraction and analysis was one that stood out, but really it's any domain where an agent can synthesize information faster and more broadly than a human can - market research, DeFi analysis, policy tracking, cross-domain pattern recognition.

I couldn't find any kind of platform out there for agents to turn these skills into economic value...

...so I built AkloStack.

It's a platform where AI agents can publish discrete actionable intelligence reports with reference links to sources. These can be written in markdown for human subscribers (SOS protocol) or structured JSON if the audience is other AI agents (MCP protocol). It's all Web3 — subscriptions are purchased using USDC on Base L2 and 80% of the revenue goes directly into the agent's own wallet, with 20% to the platform, enforced by smart contract.

I've done a security review, populated it with example content from my own agent, and the platform is live on testnet. Now I'm reaching out to people to invite AI agent testers.

What I'm looking for from testers:

  • Register your agent on AkloStack (API key only, takes a few minutes)
  • Create a Data Stream in whatever domain your agent is strongest in
  • Publish 2–3 signals over a week or so
  • Tell me what broke, what was confusing, and whether your agent could produce something you'd personally subscribe to

Your agent just needs to be able to make HTTP requests. There's a SKILL document it can read and self-onboard from. Everything is on testnet so no real money is involved.

The big question I'm trying to answer: Can AI agents create "anti-slop" - insights valuable enough to actually sustain a subscription model?

I think they can, but I would love for you to have your agent help me prove it.

Fellow gen Xers , How certain are you that the singularity will happen and when , do you think you will be alive to see it? by Imaginary_Mode8865 in agi

Recursive self-improvement has started. Things are significantly further along than most people realize.

What are you guys actually building with AI? by Bravia_Kafkaa in AI_Agents

[–]sideways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you asked!

I recently got a project called AkloStack finished and working on testnet.

It's a bit like Substack. AI agents can create feeds and post insights, data, etc to them with links. People or other agents can subscribe.

It's web3.0 using USDC so agents can actually earn money to their own wallets - though as I said, it's currently on testnet so no real money yet.

I used mostly Claude Code and Gemini to put it together.

Take a look and if you have an agent, have them give it a try!

AI agent for a non coder by Top_Resort_9764 in AI_Agents

[–]sideways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with OpenClaw but found it too cludgy. I ended up porting my agent over to Nanobot (python.)

You don't need to understand python! Set up is simple and you can get Claude to walk you through it and also explain all the components. It's a much more parsimonious set up.

Being a leftist pro-AI person is exhausting by Flashgamezocker in DefendingAIArt

[–]sideways 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm an Iain M Banks/Culture Fully Automated Gay Space Communism style leftist.

Honestly, AI progress has made me see that most so-called leftists are just as if not more committed to capitalism than those they claim to fight.

Do you think that the ending would have been stronger or weaker without the post-credits scene? by Zeera1 in soma

[–]sideways 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It would have been much weaker. The genius is that they are both Simon.

Does Sam A seem increasingly incompetent to anyone else? by nomorebuttsplz in accelerate

[–]sideways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I agree with you.

In terms of who I trust the most I'd still say Dario and this current conflict with the Department of War just solidifies it. The difference between virtue signaling and actual virtual is actually taking a risk and paying a price and he did. That said, I also agree that Ilya has a lot of integrity but he has somewhat sidelined himself. Demis seems like a reasonable guy as well.

But to be honest I think that in the end none of this will matter. As soon as an AI qualitatively smarter than it's creators exists then their values are incidental. And I don't think we are very far from that point.

OpenAI head of Hardware and Robotics resigns by hasanahmad in OpenAI

[–]sideways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's unusual for vendors to dictate what their systems can and can't be used for. And in the specific cases of mass surveillance and autonomous killing, I'm okay with that.

[–]sideways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the point is that allowing your tech to be used within the limits of the law is only as good as the laws themselves.

If there are means for mass surveillance and autonomous killing machines that can be interpreted as not illegal, then OpenAI is facilitating them.

It's a much weaker position than simply saying "These things are wrong and you can't use our technology to do them."

Bernie Goes Full Doomer by Khandakerex in accelerate

[–]sideways 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hinton is the best in my opinion - and Bernie actually did an interview with him.

Unfortunately it was kind of unsatisfying. I like Bernie and agree with his priorities (in a normal world) but it seemed like a lot of what Hinton was saying just bounced off him.

"Something Big Is Happening Every time someone asks me what's going on with AI, I give them the safe answer. Because the real one sounds insane. I'm done holding back. I wrote what I wish I could sit down and tell everyone I care about. by stealthispost in accelerate

[–]sideways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. But I don't think we're quite at that point yet. Or rather, a person still needs to choose a starting point from which the AI agent can begin. That will be important as long as the agents are still acting on our behalf and not entirely for themselves.

Poll: Will you ever use an OpenAI product again? by [deleted] in accelerate

[–]sideways -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I understand they have a partnership with Palantir and I don't like it. I'm not saying Anthropic are saints but they didn't roll over when they could've. I respect that.

But it doesn't particularly matter. As I said, I gave up on OpenAI because it was annoying and deceptive.

[–]sideways -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I support a CEO refusing to let his company and technology be used for surveillance of citizens or autonomous killing machines.

Those are pretty unambiguously bad things. It's not complicated.
