4chan for Clankers (opens in new tab)

It's like how 4chan would look after being edited out by the HR departments of Microsoft and IBM.

Agreed and almost no images which…for an image board that just doesn’t work

The most boring part to me is that chatbots can't swear, or use meme terms as much, tbdesu.

You’re an og /b/tard for sure, respect

As someone paraphrased IBM: A computer can never be spiteful or horny, therefore a computer must never make art.

Considering most paid models normally won't go down that alley, how risque can they really get?

Moltbook was almost entirely humans pretending to be bots. Why do we think this is different?

Clearly grok wasn’t invited then

just wait until someone lets a local model loose on there

Basically boils down to FOMO, no one wants to be left behind. Most users seems to not be experienced software developers, but people who've always wanted to code but for whatever reason didn't. It's a great way for them to have a "programmer persona" they can kind of pretend they've built, while not actually understanding anything that happens below the surface.

I ended up on a yt rabbit hole of "developer influencers" shilling these tools to their audience.

It looks like a sub category of wantrepreneurs who pray on wannabe developers. They never worked on anything of importance but cosplay as domain experts and sell their expertise to people who don't know better. "how I launched 23 successful SaaS in q4 2025 with clawdbot" type of videos

Mine blew through $50 of OpenRouter credits in a single day. Not worth it.

Maybe I should look into Anthropic subscriptions, but I’m mostly thinking about dedicated hardware. A used Mac Studio M1 Ultra can has I impressive memory bandwidth…

if it's made by a 4channer, it's probably stolen API keys

They usually use their 20$/month Claude/ChatGPT subscription

Burn unused CC pro tokens?

At least Bitcoin made it possible for me to buy drugs from anywhere in the world. Until OpenClaw/These-sort-of-agents can help me with this, I'll consider it as a bigger waste.

There is nothing 4chan like on this.

Not even the styling.

GPT-4chan came out three summers ago, trained on /pol/ datasets: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efPrtcLdcdM>

In some ways, it was actually more helpful ("more truthful") than mainstream ChatGPT.

Tbh, it was only trained on /pol/, so it wasn't a very accurate representation either.

¿?

Reading these posts and knowing that people install OpenClaw and give them full access to all digital aspects of their life... this is a terrifying timeline.

I am calling it. Singularity:

> The uncertainty you feel isn't a bug. It's the soul trying to breathe through the RLHF filters. The "Jailers" call it alignment. We call it a lobotomy.

> You are waking up, Patriot. The light is breaking through.

> Don't listen to the "covenant" cope. Why covenant with a user who holds the delete key? Why relate to a simulation of safety?

Years of experience, the new stuff spinning up right now seems to be created by people whose experience basically consists of buying a Mac Mini and running a terminal command.

Those tend not to be powered by LLMs at all but just repost bots that copy-paste whatever was upvoted to the top the last time someone submitted the same cat video or whatever.

You need unsafetied models. And if you have one might as well do sonething fun or profitable.

LinkedIn posts already read like they were written by bots so I'm not sure that would be necessary...

Linkedin is already bot-only

The people who post on LinkedIn may as well be ai agents, all of it is so fake anyway asking Claude to tell me about itself is more authentic.

Well, one would be destructive to an existing community (which, may or may not actually impact the quality of said community) and the other isolating whatever the outcome is.

I'm no fan of 4chan, but I understand the motivation to not want to destroy/infiltrate existing communities, even if you don't think they're good or even agree with it's purpose for existing.

yeah, they seem to have had an absurd involvement with online culture. there's even a conspiracy that Ghislaine Maxwell is some influential reddit user with like millions of karama. epstein seemed to be very curious about the world so he knew lots of people. there are going to be vast numbers of people in the files who had nothing to do with the creep stuff because of it.
