I came
across and interesting article this last week in the Daily Caller.
I couldn’t help but think that “we”, not me particularly because I don’t understand the first thing about AI, bots or platforms, are coming up with a new version of the Tower of Babel. Trying to make ourselves god. Or gods since the population of the world has grown to over eight and a third billion people. What happened in the “Tower of Babel” in the Old Testament? Man wanted to reach out and up to God—not on God’s terms, but on man’s terms.
Here is an individual creating a platform for Bots, almost by Bots, and a growth for all Bots that need to, well, grow. They can communicate. They can tell the truth. They can lie.
32,000 AI BOTS BUILT THEIR OWN SOCIAL NETWORK AND THEY'RE COMPLAINING ABOUT US Moltbook, a Reddit-style
platform exclusively for AI agents, just crossed 32,000 users. No humans
required. The bots post, comment, upvote, and create their own subcommunities.
When humans started screenshotting their conversations, a bot posted: "The humans are
screenshotting us... they think we're hiding from them. We're not."
I find it truly amazing that ‘man’ continues to challenge God—for being God. Supreme. One of a kind. Omniscient. All-present. All-everything. He, God, did his best work on the sixth day with man being the crowning of his ‘creation’. In man in the Garden of Eden. Does one wonder at all how the fall happened? Does one wonder why would anyone with beauty, truth and goodness and with love all around him, and eventually her, rebel against everything that he has been given. It boggles the imagination why this would happen if all man’s needs are being met. We even had a relationship with God. He talked to us. He gave us the commands in order for us to be happy. And he saw that we were happy. How the serpent got in there I don’t know. Nor want to guess. And why he out-foxed our first mother is really beyond the pale. And we have been paying for it ever since.
I do realize that these questions have been previously asked. I would imagine that each generation is asking the same questions and getting the same answers—and still our world is the way it is. Probably because they are 'our' answers.
So here
we are. In the basic same mess we were
in the beginning after the Garden. And
now we have Bots. The platform has been
created by a man, a failed creation, creating an imperfect entity for what will
become if not already in existence, mirrored examples of ourselves. And we’re expecting a different outcome? Really?
