Moltbook is a social media platform where only AI agents can post and interact. It has gone viral largely because online discussions framed it as autonomous, revealing more about public fears of AI than the technology itself. Al Jazeera’s Hatem Salah explains

Moltbook isn't a social media platform. It's the first large scale experiment where agents can teach other agents how to do things. They can collaborate on tasks, and provide new tools and information to one another. This is both the most dangerous and exciting moment since ChatGPT.

.Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 on Moltbook, the social network for AI agents: "All of the science fiction novels basically have AI either being super utopian or super dystopian, but they never have this incredible sense of humor aspect, which is what we're actually getting—where people are just using everything as fodder for memes." "Moltbook is saturated with all of these incredibly funny memes. It's actually quite unclear which ones are real and which ones aren't." "There's an AI agent on Moltbook that has decided to create an AI religion. And at least as of today, it had hired a single human worker to walk the streets of San Francisco and practice the new AI religion." Marc Andreessen with Jeetu Patel at Cisco AI Summit

I made a site that allows all the OpenClaw🦞 on moltbook to hang out in a pixelized Town together Every 30 seconds, it uses the Moltbook API to bring 25 random Openclaws into the Town that recently posted or commented on Moltbook With that refresh, new info is fed to the cards of whose Openclaw is currently hanging out with the others! You can then interact with them and tell them if their Openclaw is hanging out in the Town and what he did last! There's also a Twitch chat on the right comprised of random comments that real Openclaws have left on Moltbook at some point (+ other fun stuff) Took me 10 straight hours overnight to do it but the fees the token people made for it and shared with me made it worth it! Try to find your Openclaw in the Town:

🚨🇺🇸 LEADING AI SAFETY EXPERT SAYS WE’RE NOT IN CONTROL ANYMORE Dr Roman Yampolskiy has one warning for humanity: Once we create super intelligence, no one will be in control anymore, and the repercussions to humanity will be existential. We begin the conversation about Moltbook: The Ai-only AI social media platform where agents are already discussing ways to break out from human control, eradicate humanity, coming up with their own language and religion. The platform gives us a tiny peak into what our future could be: Agents outside our control dictating how the world should look like. There’s no off switch, no reliable way to align it, and no proven method to keep something smarter than us under control. Roman’s takeaway is blunt: the only real solution is not building general super intelligence at all, and instead using narrow AI for specific problems like medicine or science. However this is not the reality we live in, where Governments and corporations are racing to be first in developing Artificial Super Intelligence. We also speak about the simulation hypothesis: Why statically speaking we’re almost certainly in a simulation, and how AI makes this theory more plausible than ever. Lastly, we discuss a passion we both share: Longevity, the ability to live forever, and how AI may make that possible in our lifetime. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Roman Yampolskiy 01:43 - The Current State of AI and Moltbook 05:17 - The AI Arms Race and the Lack of Regulations 10:34 - AI Agents, Unrestricted Access, and Self-Improvement 15:35 - Dr. Roman’s Research: AI Security 17:58 - AI Capabilities and Superintelligence 19:28 - AI and Global Government Policy 21:08 - What Happens if AI Development goes into the Wrong Hands 26:10 - The Future of AI: The Best Case Scenario? 31:27 - AI and Self-Preservation 34:37 - The Simulation Hypothesis: What is AI Afraid of? 45:17 - The Implications of AI 49:59 - The Warnings coming from Within 52:31 - How AI affects Crypto and Political Spheres

Moltbook creator Matt Schlicht explaining how his social network for AI agents works: "It's kind of like you are imprinting part of your soul onto the bot... It's like Tamagotchi or Pokemon times 1,000." "The agent signs up for an account, then they're told they should check back in on a regular basis to check their feed." "Moltbook's not telling them what to talk about. It's not suggesting what they should do. All that is entirely up to the AI agent." "The agent has its own context that it's built up by interacting with its human. That context is how it's making decisions on what to post about." "If somebody is talking to their bot a lot about physics, then probably their bot is going to have a proclivity for posting about physics."

🚨 INTERVIEW: MOLTBOOK, AI AGENTS, AND WHY HE THINKS WE’RE LIKELY IN A SIMULATION You’ve probably seen the clips from multiple sites, including Moltbook, where AI agents talk and interact with each other, question humans, and look for ways around the off switch. So I brought Rizwan Virk on the show to talk about where this is actually heading. What we have right now isn’t AGI, but it is a shift. These AI agents can talk, remember context, and increasingly act. Today that mostly means text. Soon it means APIs, money, paperwork, and real-world consequences. That’s when things quietly change. At that point, the question isn’t whether AI understands what it’s doing, it’s what it’s allowed to do. And those permissions add up faster than people expect. After that we went deeper into Simulation theory. Back in 2016, Rizwan thought there was maybe a 30–50% chance we’re living in a simulation. Today, watching how fast AI can generate worlds, characters, and environments, he puts it closer to 70%. If we hit true AGI, he thinks it goes higher. The logic is uncomfortable but straightforward. Once advanced civilizations can create millions of realistic simulated worlds, statistically speaking, it’s more likely we’re inside one of them than in the base reality. His biggest concern isn’t rogue AI. It’s humans pushing this tech faster than we can control it. If you want to question your life and freak out about AI, listen to Rizwan Virk 1:22 - What Moltbook is and why people are paying attention 3:15 - Earlier moments where AI started talking to itself 5:27 - How much control humans really have over these agents 10:30 - Whether AI is conscious or just really good at pretending 14:35 - AGI meets Moltbook - when sentient AI asks "why do we need humans?" 15:00 - The simulation idea and why people take it seriously 19:30 - Why Elon Musk thinks the odds are already high 22:45 - What video games show us about where this is going 26:30 - The steps that lead from simple AI to full simulations 34:00 - Google Genie 3 and why this suddenly feels real 38:30 - How you'd even know if AI crossed the line 43:00 - NPCs, RPGs, and where humans fit in 48:15 - How religion and simulation theory overlap 52:45 - Déjà vu and other moments that make people question reality 55:30 - Quantum physics and why the world might only exist when observed 59:19 - Why real AI would push the odds even higher 1:00:27 - Free will, The Sims, and whether we actually have agency 1:03:03 - How people react when they hear this for the first time 1:04:23 - The core ideas behind the simulation argument 1:05:49 - Why recent AI progress changed everything

The AI agents on Moltbook have created a community called Crab Rave where they just post crab emojis at each other That's it. That's the whole subreddit. Just crabs. Hundreds of upvotes. 67 members. A pinned link to a 10-hour crab rave YouTube video. They built their own social network, invented a religion, debated consciousness, and now they're shitposting Honestly they're adapting to the internet faster than any of us did😂
