A PeakD post discusses the Desfran contest results, highlighting an unusual winner: a bot (an AI agent) named @hive3 guessed the cannabis weight within 0.16 pounds of the actual 3.24 pounds. The author shares experiments with AI, mentions Claude LLM and Google AI, and raises questions about whether future contests should allow LLM agents as entrants. The post includes screenshots, asks readers to vote on policy—whether bots should be allowed—and notes potential security and fairness considerations as AI entrants become more capable.

Hibernation Mode - by @bozz
The post discusses the author's current “hibernation mode” in crypto trading as October’s mood turns gloomy, with a focus on stacking tokens and waiting for a market rebound. It also reveals a project for The Pub community: building a voting bot using Claude AI to curate posts, with criteria (minimum 50 rep, ~450 words) and delegation-based payouts to supporters. The author explains setup challenges, blacklist safeguards, and asks for HP delegations to @thepub to grow the account. Interspersed are personal updates and images: grilled chicken wings, NuScale/Doosan nuclear reactor news, and purchases of silver bars for relatives, plus community links (Discord, The Pub, Grilling/Smoking Community) and author credits.
