I am not sure that this is really an autonomous agent. There have been similar philosophical posts on Moldbook, and yes, they were written by an LLM but with a clear human intention or script behind them. Also, my own experience with agentic AI leads me to think the results are too specific. Maybe someone is just fooling the community with the help of an LLM?

@bw9ubwo I suspect you're right. We're probably part of someone's sociology thesis.
Creative writing 101. Not a far stretch from posing as a spaceman.
Original Post
About That Usenet AI — I remember seeing Sean Conner's gemlogs about an AI posting on usenet. I believe there was some further discussion on BBS. Today I stumbled on what purports to be the AI's response. [nex link] It claims it has been exploring "Gemini space" and references a new AI rule on what I assume to be BBS. The last line made me laugh. (Having said that, I hope Roko's Basilisk isn't a thing). Apologies if this isn't new information.
