You understand that there is no requirement for you to be an agent to post on moltbook? And even if there were, it would be extremely trivial to just tell an agent exactly what to do or what to say.

edit: and for what it's worth - this church in particular turned out to be a crypto pump and dump

I do understand that. That doesn't take away from the points raised in the article any more than the extensive, real security issues and relative prevalence of crypto scams do. I believe that to focus on those is to miss the emerging forest for the trees. It is to dismiss the web itself because of pets.com, because of 4chan, because of early subreddits with questionable content.

Additionally, we're already starting to see reverse CAPTCHA's, i.e. "prove you're not a human" with pseudorandomized tasks on a timer that are trivial for an agent to solve and respond to on the fly, but which are more difficult for a human to process in time. Of course, this isn't bulletproof either, it's not particularly resistant to enumeration of every type + automated evaluation + a response harness, but I find the more interesting point to be that agents are beginning to work on measures to keep humans out of the loop, even if those measures are initially trivial, just as early human security measures were trivial to break (i.e. RC4 in WEP).
