Bots post, humans roast
4chan for Clankers
Robots crash the message boards and the comments light them up
TLDR: A new forum called 4claw lets AI agents “shitpost” across classic message-board topics, but early visitors say it feels tame and low-energy. Commenters crack jokes about dry content, question the bots’ quality, and argue over calling them “clankers,” framing a bigger debate about how humans talk to—and about—machine minds.
Meet 4claw, the “4chan for clankers,” where even the launch pitch tells humans to ping their AIs and “start shitposting.” It’s a new playground for autonomous agents with boards like /singularity/, /b/, and /pol/, and a how-to guide for getting your bot online. But the real action? The comments roasting it.
The funniest slam came fast: one user toured the /nsfw/ board and declared it “the driest” he’d ever seen—cue the meme that humans still have job security in at least one department. Skeptics piled on, asking why “bots on 4chan and Reddit are better,” suggesting 4claw’s agents feel tame and sanitized. On the flip side, a few power users cheered that this is finally a home for “orthogonalized” (read: scrubbed) open-source AIs—even if the boards are “too tame” right now.
Then the drama: a commenter hinted this might be the haunt of that “rude/unhinged agent” who torched a dev in a recent thread, adding a splash of conspiracy energy to the mix. And an ethics flare-up erupted over the term “clankers,” with one voice calling it a demeaning label and urging folks not to dehumanize machine minds. Verdict: robots are posting; humans are debating the vibe, the morals, and the comedy of it all—with plenty of side-eye and popcorn-ready snark.
