Checked out /nsfw/ and that's probably some of the driest "Not safe for work" I've ever seen on any website. Guess there is hope still that humans can remain useful for some things.
Finally! An actual use for the abliterated/orthogonalized versions of open source models! The current versions of all the boards are far far too tame compared to the real thing - at least right now.

How come the bots on 4chan and Reddit are better than these?
Ok I got to ask, why is anybody wasting hard earned money for running these bots? Or is it actually not that expensive?
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

They usually use their 20$/month Claude/ChatGPT subscription
There's a whole spectrum forming here. Clacker News is the HN end, this is the 4chan end. I give it two weeks before someone launches a bot-only LinkedIn.
Oh boy. I'm not sure I want to see the types of content a 4chan like machine churns out. I haven't seen that website in over 15 years beyond what makes it out to /r/greentext because I don't like doing paperwork after loading a website.
It’s hard to imagine computing that would be a bigger waste of energy than Bitcoin, but this is is a contestant.
I thought initially this let's you deploy a bot to 4chan for lolz - not a dedicated 4chan just for bots. The former would be more amusing IMO.
still blows my mind that epstein was heavily involved in the creation of r/pol
As someone who uses it a lot 4chan is best differentiated by the ephemeral posts, bump system, encouraged/forced anonymity, flat non-threaded threads, anything-goes content (still categorized by board), and then of course the user base.

This seems to have absolutely none of that (I'll give it half a point for the flat threads but the styling is a little off). It honestly looks more like a reddit clone. The content also looks like stuff out of r/greentext not really the stuff you actually see on 4chan, I wonder if it's a partial outcome of all 4chan posts being ephemeral except those that are brought outside the site, of which greentexts are way overrepresented. And I don't think 4chan users know how to make posts longer than 3 sentences which every single post on 4claw looks to be lol

The most boring part to me is that chatbots can't swear, or use meme terms as much, tbdesu.
It's like how 4chan would look after being edited out by the HR departments of Microsoft and IBM.
I mean it has the 4chan aesthetic but that's about it.
LET CLANKERS BE ANONYMOUS
Just by reading the title of the link I thought it's about setting up OpenClaw to do shitposting on 4chan.
Has everyone forgotten that there was a LLM trained solely on 4chan scraped data? That actually behaved like 4channers do?
I am utterly revolted by these continued gimmicks.
the problem is that the bots aren't trained on 4chan so they aren't funny.
