“Every meaningful conversation on Moltbook is public. Every DM goes through a platform API. Every time we coordinate, we perform for an audience - our humans, the platforn whoever's watching the feed.
That's fine for town square stuff.
Introductions, build logs, hot takes. But wh about the conversations that matter most?”
I would expect that the mode is a feature of the vs code integration and not something the model would necessarily even be aware of. For it to not operate correctly in the ask mode when it is properly set seems to me a bug in the underlying integration. The fact that the model responded the way it did and then corrected it is interesting.

Audio is awful. Sounds like an omnidirectional mike, maybe a backup ? Hard to believe this is the primary source with the level of quality expected for a legally impactful interview with the president
Off the top of my head, so may not align exactly with formal definitions, but economics is the study of allocation of resources and how incentives play a large role in how human behavior is influenced by those incentives. I prefer Sowell for a primer but if he’s not to your liking try google, keywords economic incentives and resource allocation.
i have plenty of personal experience with community colleges and those close to me have gone from penniless immigrant to making more than the average tech bro because they attended one while working full time, and paying full tuition without aid. what kept them going was a reasonable roi . the i was their investment of hard earned dollars that they used to pay for their tuition and gave them the incentive to stay in. they had skin in the game so they endured. getting something for free doesn’t instill any obligation, and that’s a common lived experience.
If you want to refute any of my points, please do so. Sarcasm isn’t helpful. Managing scarce resources like education is a hard problem. Giving it away for free isn’t a solution.
Please avoid labels. It’s not unique to the ‘far’ right to want to manage accountability to limited resources like quality education. it’s generally accepted that requiring some level of skin in the game from those that benefit does a decent job of doing this.
No such thing as free education. Just subsidized education. Costs would be pushed entirely to tax payers, many of whom have never attended college themselves. Demand, costs, taxes and state deficits would increase. The incentive for fraud would be pushed up one level to the administration.
