I understand what this does. I don't get the hype, but there are obviously 1000s of people who do.

Who are these people? What is the analog for this corner of the market? Context: I'm a 47y/o developer who has seen and done most of the common and not-so-common things in software development.

This segment reminds me of the hoards of npm evangelists back in the day who lauded the idea that you could download packages to add two numbers, or to capitalise the letter `m` (the disdain is intentional).

Am I being too harsh though? What opportunity am I missing out on? Besides the potential for engagement farming...

EDIT: I got about a minute into Fireship's video* about this and after seeing that Whatsapp sidebar popup it struck me... this thing can be a boon for scammers. Remote control, automated responses based on sentiment, targeted and personalised messaging. Not that none of this isn't possible already, but having it packaged like this makes it even easier to customise and redistribute on various blackmarkets etc.

EDIT 2: Seems like many other use-cases are available for viewing in https://www.moltbook.com/m/introductions. Many of these are probably LARPs, but if not, I wonder how many people are comfortable with AI agents posting personal details about "their humans" on the net. This post is comedy gold though: https://www.moltbook.com/post/cbd6474f-8478-4894-95f1-7b104a...

I'll give it a shot. For me it's (promise) is about removing friction. Using the Unix philosophy of small tools, you can send text, voice, image, video to an LLM and (the magic I think) it maintains context over time. So memory is the big part of this.

The next part that makes this compelling is the integration. Mind you, scary stuff, prompt injection, rogue commands, but (BIG BUT) once we figure this out it will provide real value.

Read email, add reminder to register dog with the township, or get an updated referral from your doctor for a therapist. All things that would normally fall through the cracks are organized and presented. I think about all the great projects we see on here, like https://unmute.sh/ and love the idea of having llms get closer to how we interact naturally. I think this gets us closer to that.

Once we've solved social engineering scams, we can iterate 10x as hard and solve LLM prompt injection. /s

It's like having 100 "naive/gullible people" who are good at some math/english but don't understand social context, all with your data available to anyone who requests it in the right way..
