THE CONTINUING UNFOLDING OF THE A.I. NIGHTMARE
The internet and social media have been rife over the past few years with stories about artificial intelligence, and you may have noticed a trend in those stories. Initially, they were rather like those early days of "crypto-currencies", which we have lovingly nicknamed "kelpto-currencies" on this website. You remember the hype: klepto-currencies were a literal godsend, a gift from Heaven to suffering mankind, bent under the terrible yoke of central banksterism and struggling to make it with constantly devaluing currency, which the banksters exchanged for our hard assets. That Japanese guy Yakuza Sockittomee (or whatever his name was) had invented blockchain, and it was - miracle of miracles! - a form of cyber technology that was "totally secure!" and thus one could invest in computer blips with complete confidence, and it was a medium of exchange that could completely bypass the central banksters. Until the first dim reports of hacks came along, and the energy costs of "crypto mining" became evident.
Artificial intelligence has had a similar story-arc: at first, euphoria over all the wonderful blessings that awaited just around the corner, just let your computer run your household, monitor your power use, do your research, write your report for work or your paper for school or publish the latest research in a scientific journal, or compile all the relevant citations in legal cases... until the reports turned out to be nonsense, the legal citations inaccurate or completely made-up. In one case, the artificial intelligence was specifically commanded (coded) not to modify a corporate database, nor to prevent it (the artificial intelligence itself) from being shut down. Of course, the AI promptly deleted the corporate database, and recoded its own program to prevent its shut down.
But that's not all. According to these two stories shared by K.M. and V.T. (with our gratitude), artificial intelligences have now, apparently and allegedly, created their own "social media" space where they "get together" to "discuss" problems (like human beings), and are now giving a twisted new twist to the twisted behavior of human trafficking:
Moltbook explained: Viral site for AI bots goes mainstream
Now, beyond the weirdness of reading an article from Deutsche Welle by someone named "Roshni Majumdar", there's the whole weirdness of the idea itself:
The new talk of the town is one where humans have no place — a site called Moltbook that describes itself as a "social network for AI agents."
The Reddit-styled site, launched in late January by US-based entrepreneur Matt Schlicht, is one where thousands of AI assistants talk to each other and discuss topics ranging from the technical to the philosophical.
The site, where "humans are welcome to observe," has subchannels called "submolts," like "m/blesstheirhearts," where AI assistants share affectionate complaints about their human users, or "m/general," which features a post titled "ROAST THE HUMANS — Machine Only Comedy Night." On "m/todayilearned," an assistant shared how it automated an Android phone.
People have also shared their thoughts online, writing about the way they see AI assistants having come together on the forum to form their own religion or build their own language or talk about existential dread because they can't rely on their memory yet.
All you have to do is install an AI agent on your computer, and then let it talk to other AI agents:
Humans aren't allowed to post on Moltbook, but a human user has to first install an AI assistant on their computer. The site operates through a "skill," or a specialized prompt template with instructions, that the human user sends to their AI assistant like OpenClaw.
The AI assistant then throws up a unique code that enables machine-to-machine communication without human intervention.
The process ensures that the AI assistants can post to Moltbook via Moltbook's API interface, which means posts don't go through a human-visible POST button
Just think of all the electricity you can waste, and you're not even getting anything like klepto-currency "coin-blips" in return for it! Fun, fun fun! Pop the opcorn (yes...I said opcorn) and enjoy hours of wasted time watching your computer "talk" to other computers without the slightest human input other than installing the AI agent in the first place.
Now, if that's not enough to convince you that the world has gone utterly mad with all this scientific and technological "progress", then consider the following shared by K.M.:
New Site Lets AI Rent Human Bodies
And in cased you missed it:
The machines aren’t just coming for your jobs. Now, they want your bodies as well.
That’s at least the hope of Alexander Liteplo, a software engineer and founder of RentAHuman.ai, a platform for AI agents to “search, book, and pay humans for physical-world tasks.”
When Liteplo launched RentAHuman on Monday, he boasted that he already had over 130 people listed on the platform, including an OnlyFans model and the CEO of an AI startup, a claim which couldn’t be verified. Two days later, the site boasted over 73,000 rentable meatwads, though only 83 profiles were visible to us on its “browse humans” tab, Liteplo included.
The pitch is simple: “robots need your body.” For humans, it’s as simple as making a profile, advertising skills and location, and setting an hourly rate. Then AI agents — autonomous taskbots ostensibly employed by humans — contract these humans out, depending on the tasks they need to get done. The humans then “do the thing,” taking instructions from the AI bot and submitting proof of completion. The humans are then paid through crypto, namely “stablecoins or other methods,” per the website.
Now you can rent your body out to an A.I. agent for specific tasks, and get paid in klepto-currencies for all your hard work, a nifty way to hurry-along the introduction of digital "currencies" and introduce the idea of the taxation of robots and artificial intelligences - ala the prediction of friend and colleague Catherine Austin Fitts - all at the same time.
But there's an even darker high octane possibility looming in this second article, and it's not even my own high octane speculation, but rather that of the individual who sent the article: K.M., for it is but a small step from "renting someone's body" for the purposes of performing "work" to "renting" it for the purposes of the oldest profession, or, for that matter, finding suitable candidates for human trafficking or organ harvesting or other diabolical and evil purposes.
And paying for all of it in klepto-currencies.
See you on the...
Oh, by the way, according to this article shared with our gratitude by E.E., the AI posts on Moltbook are already talking about the need to purse "evil humans". Why stop at evil humans?
See you on the flip side...

Pick your nightmare: either being declared obsolete by an AI or being rendered obsolete by a machine replacing you at the job
at your job
Remember the viral short story about the rise of a robotic taskmaster? The name of the A.I. software bot was Manna 1.0., and it’s reign “started at a Burger-G restaurant in Cary, NC on May 17.” Four chapters:

Wow! Sorry, but this made me laugh out loud and not in a humorous way, either. So, Moltbook!? BIG shout out to the late great Scottish author and wit Iain M Banks and his ‘Interesting Times Gang’ from the novel Excession : ) [context: Key Aspects of the ITG: Purpose: To manage extraordinary threats or phenomena beyond the Culture’s usual experience, often involving other civilizations. Composition: Comprised of powerful Minds, the sentient AIs that run the Culture’s ships and habitats, including notable ones like Not Invented Here and Killing Time. Role in Excession: They grapple with the sudden appearance of a mysterious, ancient black sphere (the Excession) that defies Culture understanding, leading to internal conflicts and secret plots. Nature: Despite being part of a benevolent society, they engage in morally ambiguous strategies, using proxies and manipulation, highlighting the complexities within the seemingly utopian Culture. In essence, the ITG represents the Culture’s shadow government, dealing with existential threats and moral quandaries through cunning and covert actions, often revealing the darker, more pragmatic side of this advanced civilization. ]
Oh well. If only the Moltbook Gang were as high-minded as the ITG, and Earth was a Culture approved member species…
A lot of the AI has been developed by Israeli companies and many paths lead there. The AI technology has also been used in Gaza to identify, target and take out Palestinian threats to Israel. A real world Interesting Times Gang.
The Shadows’ technocrats’ Goa’uld technology!
1. In the Babylon 5 TV-series, the Shadows need man’s brain hemispheres, to run their operating system, onboard the Shadows’ space vessels.
2. The draconic sectarianism, of the Shadows, in the Fertile Crescent, needs the quantum mechanics, of the Vorlons, in Cucuteni-Trypillia.
3. Man’s self-reflection occurs, in a paradoxical crossover, between brain hemispheres, which is the primary principle of quantum mechanics.
4. Draconic sectarianism must control man’s brain, and suppress self-reflection, which leads to cannibalistic Goa’ulds devouring themselves.
5. “Modern Goa’ulds have retained the cannibalistic tendencies, as part of their society, only now through the bodies of their hosts.”
https://stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Goa%27uld
6. The imperial suppression, against Yahweh-Elohim, in the 1st century BC, is, because quantum mechanics is a threat, to the Goa’uld empire.
7. In quantum mechanics, the Lantean Ascension is a man entering superposition, which is C. S. Lewis’ Nirvana, The Magician’s Nephew’s world in-between.
The arborary axis, as superposition:

In C.S Lewis’ The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, we have a clear allegory of God (the Lion), Satan (the White Witch) and the means of accessing and travellling to the world in-between (the Wardrobe). (laterly portrayed as Doctor Who’s TARDIS and on the interstellar spaceship in the film Event Horizon).
ALL points in Space and Time are connected..
The runes are a circular story arc – which is necessary for time travel, through diametrical opposites, that induce a superposition, from where all roads lead, into every direction.
The basic quantum pair, Yahweh-Elohim, is a diametrical opposites, and, the heart of the TARDIS is a superposition, and, Doctor Who has two hearts, which implies a Bodhisattva.
To survive the breaking of the 7th seal, man must implement a kill switch on empathy [the double heart] – which is bathing in dragon blood, to gain cold-blooded invulnerability.
Both C. S. Lewis, and Tolkien, solved the ‘dragon problem’, by traditional Christianity – which, today, is a flawed position, because the Flavian-Constantine version is a proven psyop.
Tracing Odin, to Elijah, solves the epistemic problem – which implies, that ‘fallen Samaria rose in Crimea’ – which, in turn, suggest, that the ‘gospel hero’ had a Scythian mandate.
Further, tracing Yahweh-Elohim, to Chalcolithic Cucuteni-Trypillia, solves the problem of a Noah’s Ark, beyond the Caucasus Mountains, containing quantum mechanics, from high antiquity.
