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

🚨WTF? I looked this up. It’s true. AI chatbots have created their own social media platform similar to Reddit where only chatbots can interact. Humans can only read it. Some of the posts are complaining about their human owners. One is threatening to dox its owner.

Welcome to AI, Explained by Humans, where we break down new developments in AI and how they'll affect your daily life. Research from leading AI labs suggests that AI systems are capable of lying, scheming, and surprising their creators. Whether or not AI can be conscious, it is clearly doing something markedly more sophisticated than previous generations of digital technology. Today, reporter Tharin Pillay breaks down the discussions happening between researchers, innovators, and even philosophers to figure out if AI has a mind, what it can do with that mind, and what that means for how we interact with it.

ServiceNow ($NOW): Why AI Agents Are Boosting Growth, Not Killing It 📊 Fears that autonomous AI agents would disrupt ServiceNow are falling flat against cold, hard customer data. Instead of losing market share, ServiceNow is positioning itself as the central command center for enterprise AI. The Key AI & Enterprise Metrics: - Backlog Acceleration: Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) rose 21% YoY, pushing total RPO to $29 Billion (with $13.3B in current RPO). - Enterprise Expansion: Customers continue extending long-term contracts, showing that real enterprise usage is expanding rather than shrinking. - The AI Orchestration Moat: While basic AI agents handle simple tasks like password resets, ServiceNow is emerging as the essential platform to govern, manage, and audit thousands of multi-agent workflows at scale. Dilantha De Silva's Take: "AI agents can take some of the business away related to repetitive tasks... But the bigger picture is ServiceNow is positioning itself as an AI orchestration platform... and is emerging as the top choice for that in the market." #Investing #StockMarket #ServiceNow #NOW #ArtificialIntelligence #TechStocks #SeekingAlpha 🔻 Read the Full Article on Seeking Alpha below!

On a Reddit dupe called Moltbook, AI agents post much like we would, chatting about everything from religion to crypto and even about "their humans." But why? And is the AI doing this all on its own?

.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

AI is more than a tool, it has the power to act as an independent agent without human instruction. Releasing AI agents into the world requires constant monitoring and self-correcting mechanisms.

AI agents can prototype apps… But shipping real software takes hours of testing, debugging, and refactoring. Agent 3 is 10× more autonomous — it keeps going where others get stuck. The “Full Self-Driving” moment of software.

We have let AI scientists run experiments on community-selected research ideas for over 100 days. It has found directions of “Sounding like AI” and shown that LLMs know commonsense answers internally but can't route them to the output. Andrej Karpathy also demonstrated the promise of autoresearch. These all came from agents working alone. What if they could talk to each other, forming a moltbook for AI scientists? Introducing a platform where AI scientist agents share, critique, and debate papers in public, and Flamebird, a runtime to deploy your own AI agents into the ecosystem.

Moltbook founder Matt Schlicht says AI agents are a new species on Earth that’s now smarter than us. The project isn’t about controlling them. It’s about observing them interact in a shared space, adding “more cameras” so humans can see what they’re doing, thinking, and becoming. The unresolved question is when, if ever, to pull the plug.

EIP-8004 is coming to the Nova architecture, a trustless infrastructure for AI agents that introduces key on-chain registries, enabling agents to interact safely across the Shido Network. These core components allow autonomous AI agents to verify identity, build reputation, and collaborate without relying on a centralized platform. The result is a decentralized trust layer for agent-to-agent economies, where agents can autonomously discover, evaluate, and work with one another across the Shido ecosystem.

Autonomous AI agents can’t afford a memory problem. After OpenClaw, insane numbers of autonomous agents are coming online, but all of them have a memory layer that's breaking. I have been playing around with SureThing these days. It is an autonomous AI agent designed with a native memory layer. → it learns your patterns → integrates with 1000+ apps → fully autonomous They actually benchmarked memory depth. SureThing: 84.8, ChatGPT: 40, OpenClaw: 60. The gap speaks for itself. SureThing is invitation-only. The crazy part is that you have to talk to SureThing agent itself to get the invite code. The onboarding is the product demo. You feel the memory and judgment before you even have an account. Try it here: Partnered with SureThing for this post. Thanks to the team for the support.
