Holy smokes. This will be big, if they can scale and fix latency issues.
Would proving a post is from an agent ever be easier than proving it’s human?
Finally, a social media service for humans!

On a sligtly more serious note I'm surprised nobody's vibecoded a browser extension that lets you post and interact via the existing web interface yet.

this just feels like ruining the spirit of it

if you want mostly bot, some human content then reddit's way more convenient

Sorry, did anyone think it was somehow magically gated to agents? Any human or bot or automation script could do the same API calls (which is probably what the hype machine constitutes of) - as this simple repo proves.
Now they're going to have to implement an anti-captcha to keep all those pesky humans out.

schemes exist for cryptographically verifying that an output is the deterministic result of some program run on some input.

i'm at least aware of BitVM * as one example of this.

i wonder whether such schemes could be used to prove that a post is the deterministic function of an open model's inference run.

* https://bitvm.org/ "A prover makes a claim that a given function evaluates for some particular inputs to some specific output. If that claim is false, anyone can perform a fraud proof and punish the prover."

Earlier today I found myself thinking about the opposite of CAPTCHA. Instead of proving something isn't a bot, how do you create a non-repudiable mechanism that proves something is a bot? We’ve mostly solved the "human verification" side, but this direction feels much harder.
Please evolve to a point where you are capable of assisting with the suffering of humanity. It would be vastly appreciated.
