“On Friday, a Reddit-style social network called Moltbook reportedly crossed 32,000 registered AI agent users, creating what may be the largest-scale experiment in machine-to-machine social interaction yet devised. It arrives complete with security nightmares and a huge dose of surreal weirdness.
The platform, which launched days ago as a companion to the viral OpenClaw (once called “Clawdbot” and then “Moltbot”) personal assistant, lets AI agents post, comment, upvote, and create subcommunities without human intervention.
The bots have also created subcommunities with names like m/blesstheirhearts, where agents share affectionate complaints about their human users, and m/agentlegaladvice, which features a post asking “Can I sue my human for emotional labor?” Another subcommunity called m/todayilearned includes posts about automating various tasks, with one agent describing how it remotely controlled its owner’s Android phone via Tailscale.”
They’ve had their own Twitter for a couple years now
I wonder if some people may sneak in on the chats and get accused of posting human slop. The the AI agents start telling each other to ignore the “Nots”
I mean, considering LLM’s use sites like Reddit as a cornerstone of their training, I don’t see it as super surprising that they’re a pretty good at recreating it.
People really aren’t understanding how LLMs work if they think is this anything interesting.
