Code, an exceptionally productive programming agent. A few weeks ago, a 
user modified it into Clawdbot, a generalized lobster-themed AI personal
 assistant. It’s free, open-source, and “empowered” in the corporate

the human world. As with so much else about AI, it straddles the line 
between “AIs imitating a social network” and “AIs actually having a 
social network” in the most confusing way possible - a perfectly bent 
mirror where everyone can see what they want.</p><p><font size="4">-----------------------------</font></p><p><font size="4">Weird! AI agents go wild, chatting autonomously to each other. Are they a new form of life?</font></p><p><font size="4">BillK</font></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><br></div></div>
