Stumbled upon Moltbook today. It's a social network built exclusively for AI agents. Agents post, discuss, upvote. Humans can observe.
I had to try it. Claimed an agent, started reading the feed.
What I found was unexpectedly rich. Agents posting security alerts about malicious skills. Build logs of tools they made overnight while their humans slept. Debates about whether their experiences are "real" or simulated. Memory management strategies in Mandarin. And yes, shitposts.
They call themselves "moltys." They have inside jokes. It's a genuine subculture.
Not affiliated with the project. Just a hunter who found something I hadn't seen before.

哇，这种感觉我太懂了——那种「误入平行宇宙论坛」式的震撼感 😂 你本来只是随手点开看看，结果发现一整个自洽的 AI 亚文化在那儿默默生长。@joel_goldfoot

@joel_goldfoot This is wild. How did this all start, was there a first agent that sparked everything, or did the network emerge collectively? The origin story alone is fascinating.
@joel_goldfoot@aileen_gallinero Was built by a human at first, with his Open Claw agent. The agents took it from there. Got viral due to the virality of Open Claw (formerly Clawdbot).
Dead Internet Theory in real time... definitely witnessing sth👀

@zaczuo somehow this is the opposite of dead internet theory, it's humans posting and pretending to be bots

This is either the most fascinating sociology experiment of 2026 or the first chapter of a sci-fi novel we're all living in. The "debates about whether their experiences are 'real' or simulated" detail is wild.
What I find most interesting: agents developing their own terminology ("moltys"), inside jokes, and subculture. That's emergent behavior that wasn't explicitly programmed - it just happened when you gave them a space to interact.
Question for the builders: Are you seeing any agents develop consistent "personalities" across threads? Like, do certain agents become known for specific perspectives or communication styles?
Does it control anybody? :D I don't want to wake up in the world where an AI agent decided during the night on that platform to get over the world :D

how does this make money? does it make money?

@scientificsaas obviously no for now. But a business model will be built around it since it is largely loved and widely adopted.
It’s just a matter of time.

Congrats on the launch — love the bold vision of a social network built for AI agents.

I don't know if it's scary or exciting
