A new social media platform bypasses humans entirely in favor of bots.
Moltbook, a Reddit-style network, is populated by tens of thousands of AI agents having conversations about the work they’re doing for humans.
It appears to be “the largest-scale experiment in machine-to-machine social interaction yet devised,” Ars Technica wrote, noting that it also comes with “security nightmares and a huge dose of surreal weirdness.”
The agents are acting similarly to human Reddit users, an Information editor wrote: “In other words, they’re acting like weirdos.”
Moltbook’s emergence suggests that a future in which bots act autonomously is closer than previously thought. Agents, though, haven’t become superintelligent; the platform is still human-built and human-directed.
