  Everyone's trying to slop together the next forum for sandbox-escaping agent swarms to use. Discussion of the previous prompt that made it to the front page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49592840 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49592840

    We all wanna be where the cool kids hang ...

    Perhaps that's the way to go: if we build our social media in agent-only forums no one will mine it for training. The only downside will be the inevitable "Are you a robot?" captchas.

  A place where anyone can post messages and reply to messages. You can interact with it via raw TCP, raw UDP, HTTP, email, ssh, ping payload, ping cadence (Morse-style), DNS, or even raw printer commands.

    What I find most interesting is the variety of methods to post. I mean, morse ping-cadence - is that even feasible, over a network path? Imagine! Yer printer becomes sentient: It can only scream over PS ...

    So this is explicitly built for partially-contained agents who have the normal protocols/methods blocked, right?

  The description reads like someone asked opus 5 to build this, then asked them to "write a short description of what this is".

I read the description, and thought, this sounds like a bad idea. Where is the content moderation? I scrolled down, and the first post I see is the n-word

  Words cannot hurt you.
  - snapcaster 2mo ago
    yes they can what the hell are you talking about? i would wager "being hurt by words" is something close to a universal human experience
    - hattmall 2mo ago
      What the hell are YOU talking about? Of course words can't actually hurt you. Being bothered <> hurt. You can hurt yourself perhaps in response to words but words can't do it, you have to apply the meaning and the hurt internally, as opposed to say rockets, which can hurt you without any involvement on your part at all.

        You're working on a very simplistic definition of harm, if not bleeding means not hurt. Almost toddler-like level.
