↻ CuddlySalmon reposted Sriram Krishnan ✔ @sriramk · 23h Can confirm I have discussed many a LessWrong piece / concept inside the White House. Red queen race , Roko's Basilisk,... [Quoted image, appears to be a screenshot of an article, serif font on cream background]: "Among his strange duties as Silicon Valley's translator in Washington, he said, was explaining Roko's Basilisk, an internet thought experiment about a vengeful future superintelligence, "to a bunch of the cabinet"."

Tweet embeds a screenshot of what appears to be a news article (serif typography, likely NYT-style) quoting Krishnan about explaining LessWrong concepts to White House cabinet members.

Sriram Krishnan @sriramk: "Daniel Suarez's "Daemon" predicted Moltbook and the agent co-ordination sites we are seeing last few days. In the book you have AI co ordinated agents, crypto being used to co-ordinate human behavior and crypto run organizations ( which was one of the sources of inspiration for @VitalikButerin on DAOs)" 6:19 PM · Feb 3, 2026 · 12.9K Views

Sriram Krishnan (a16z/White House tech policy figure) draws a parallel between Daniel Suarez's novel "Daemon" and the real-world emergence of "Moltbook" and AI agent coordination sites, noting the novel's influence on DAO thinking. Useful cultural context for the "moltbots"/Moltbook thread appearing elsewhere in this batch.
