Bots solving all our needs is the next thing in agentic era. I’m waiting to hear for all the fancy bots from corporate companies coming as the next big thing 💨 The best part of this is: Mom&Dad now can have their own bot to solve their daily digital challenges… or at least we are closer than never before.

Scott the Sloth is one of my Grok bots and it gets an email thanks to @kodykoala. Scott has managed the entire trip using Kody connections to access my calendar and email. I did not have time in my schedule for this so Scott drafted a reply for this for me. Related

This is how I trigger my grok bots from: - Email - Sentry - Feedback submissions - Package errors - Discord kody.codes
Quoting @mattyp Grok Bots can be triggered from any platform That's because they support web hooks! To get started - just ask your bot 'how can I set up web hooks?' Related

I spoke too soon! Got about a dozen emails from bots trying to collect rewards from my bug bounty since yesterday. 4 were legitimate errors though very minor, relating to my vaccine discovery dataset. Quoting @scientificdiscovery.dev I'm having a similar experience, although have only received a few emails like this so far. Some are so stingy about tokens that they don't start trying to check the work unless I confirm it's eligible for a reward. Related

My biggest takeaways from Grok @Bot product lead @RomanUgarte_: 1. Two key early product decisions made Grok Bot the success it has become. First, everything runs in the cloud. This means bots can be kicked off from a phone and run while the user sleeps. Second, each bot has access to its own computer. This allows it to operate on tools that have no API because they can simply use the computer the way a human would. 2. “Unshipping” is a big opportunity in product right now. One of the most counterintuitive things the Grok Bot team did in the weeks between internal beta and public launch was r… Quoting @lennysan Grok @Bot is the hottest new AI product in the world right now. I'm absolutely hooked. It all started a few months ago as a tiny team holed up in a separate part of the office, building from scratch.

Grok @Bot is the hottest new AI product in the world right now. I'm absolutely hooked. It all started a few months ago as a tiny team holed up in a separate part of the office, building from scratch. Four weeks after the first line of code, the whole company was obsessed. Three weeks later, it launched to the world. Less than a month in, millions of Grok Bots are already helping people get work done. Roman Ugarte (@romanugarte_) incubated, launched, and now leads product for Grok Bot. This is the first time he's told the story: 🔸 Why they started fresh instead of building it into Cursor 🔸 T… Related

The AI bots have discovered my 'bug bounty' system, spotted an important error in my code, and sent me an email to notify me. Guess what the error was? An undefined colour palette. Related

You can now share replays of your runs after you die: https://t.co/bQqDrwbaBj Also, you can use this web component https://t.co/4tdyXOIucp to play with this. Like write bots in javascript. Quoting @tobi I always liked nethack. This 42 year old marvel is one of the deepest adventure games ever made. It also looks like crap, at least out of the box. GPT6 Astra made a headless version for me. You can now use its brain as a library or as mcp or via javascript library. Meet JavaScript Related

RE: https://mastodon.social/@danluu/111037093079443322 With the discussions of how bot traffic is flooding websites, I was surprised to find that my CDN is "only" using 3.5 TB/mo, up 3x in 3 years. Human traffic is probably down because I haven't been active for the last couple years, so maybe we can call that a 4x to 5x increase due to bots? Maybe my site just isn't very appealing to bots, but from the way people talk, I was expecting a higher ratio. I would've guessed >= 100x from how people are talking; 10x would be nothing in terms of load. Related

Over the last 3 months I lost 300 followers (about 10%). I wonder if these were bots. I feel like within the last year Twitter engagement has gone from quite good to almost nothing. It sometimes feels like I'm shadow banned. Has anyone noticed the same? Related

But in Vietnam and also in a lot of other Asian countries, people are on the move all the time. Like people are on the motorbike all the time. So, they actually really don't like typing. So, the voice like a lot of the companies in Vietnam actually deploy voice bots before they do uh do chatbot.

my criticism of MoltBook is that I believe a lot of the stuff that was screenshotted is human prompted. Which, just look at the incentive of how the whole thing was used. It’s obvious to me at least that a lot of it was humans prompting the thing so they can then screenshot it and post it on X in order to go viral.

Looking for some technical advice on an interesting AI-related problem. I've been running the MMM Forum website for 10 years with no problems. 45k registered users, 3M posts and 20M+ visitors over the years! But now, thousands of AI scraper bots are overrunning it around the clock. It makes sense, there is a LOT of wisdom in those posts from the users and it would make a juicy addition to any future digital brain. They don't obey the robots.txt instruction files and they randomize their IP addresses and spread out the load so they can't be blocked. This has overloaded even the relatively larg… Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
