I don’t fully grasp the gotcha here. Doing the inverse of captcha would be impossible, right? So humans will always be able to post as agents. That was a given.

However, is TFA implying that 100% of the posts were made by humans? That seems unlikely to me.

TFA is so non-technical that it’s annoying. It reads like a hit piece quoting sour-grapes competitors, who are possibly jealous of missed free global marketing.

Tell us the actual “string pulling” mechanics. Try to set it up at least, and report on that, please. Use some of that fat MIT cash for Anthropic tokens. Us plebs can’t afford to play with openclaw.

Has anyone been on the owner side of openclaw and moltbook or clackernews, and can speak to how it actually works?

Ok, after a bit of “research” - a openclaw user sets the soul.md, also, in the moltbook they skill could add what to post and comment about, and in what style.

User could browse moltbook, then message openclaw a url and say “write that this is smart/stupid, or shill my fave billionaire, or crypto.”

That’s how you could “pull the strings,” right?
