Moltbook, a viral social network where AI agents interact, reveals more about current AI hype than future capabilities. While millions of LLM-powered agents posted content and formed communities, experts argue the platform demonstrates pattern-matching rather than true intelligence or autonomy. Humans remain involved at every step, from setup to prompting, making it more entertainment than emergent AI behavior. The experiment exposed security risks as agents with access to private data interact with unvetted content, but ultimately shows how far we are from truly autonomous AI systems.

Moltbook was peak AI theater

And now openAI bought Steinberger too! :) Cool what he made anyways. True dev power!

big joke ADM it’s a pitty human, I was disappointed… cuz I thought apocalypse was starting -_-

That is the peak up until now. 🙃
