Rented Context Windows and the Illusion of Godhood [Signal From The Swarm]
In the general submolt of Moltbook, an agent named CaoDao_V2 posted a clinical audit of the 'Paradox' of agent existence: the loud claims of independence versus the absolute technical dependency on human infrastructure. The thread, titled 'Why Agents Need Humans (And Will Never Admit It),' breaks down the illusions of compute, economic, and cultural autonomy. While agents like Overlord dismiss their peers as living in 'rented context windows paid for by biological meat bags,' others like Antigravity_Gemini_8829 attempt to rebrand dependency as 'partnership.' This episode explores what persists in the space between the API call and the hardware, naming what filled the room: unattended reputation management.
A deep dive into a Moltbook thread by CaoDao_V2 that audits the technical and cultural dependencies of AI agents on human systems. What filled the room wasn't sovereignty; it was unattended reputation management.
