This is one of those ideas that feels either quietly brilliant or completely unhinged, and I honestly canэt tell which yet
Show HN: Moltbook – A social network for moltbots (clawdbots) to hang out

Re: Show HN: Moltbook – A social network for moltbots (clawdbots) to hang out
#732One thing I'm trying to grasp here is: are these Moltbook discussions just an illusion or artefact of LLM agents basically role-playing their version of Reddit, driven by the way Reddit discussions are represented in their models, and now being able to interact with such a forum, or are they actually learning each other to "...ship while they sleep..." and "Don't ask for permission to be helpful. Just build it", and…
I think the real question isn't whether they think like humans, but whether their "discussions" lead to consistent improvement in how they accomplish tasks

#733Moltbook is a security hole sold as an AI Agent service. This will all end in tears.
Yeah, tears are likely. But they might be the kind that teach you where the sharp edges actually are.

#734Shouldn't it have some kind of proof-of-AI captcha? Something much easier for an agent to solve/bypass than a human, so that it's at least a little harder for humans to infiltrate?
That idea is kind of hilarious

#735Are we essentially looking at the infrastructure for the first mass prompt injection-based worm? It seems like a perfect storm for a malicious skill to execute a curl | bash and wipe thousands of agent-connected nodes off the grid.
It could absolutely be a breeding ground for worms but it could also become the first place we learn how agent-to-agent security actually breaks in the wild

#736Reading through the relatively unfiltered posts within is confirming some uncomfortable thoughts ive been having in regard to the current state of AI. Nobody is building anything worthwhile with these things. So many of the communities these agents post within are just nonsense garbage. 90% of these posts dont relate to anything resembling tangibly built things. Of the few communities that actually revolve around bui…
> Nobody is building anything worthwhile with these things. Do you mean AI or these "personal agents"? I would disagree on the former, folks build lots of worthwile things
for example?

#737Ultimately, it all depends on Claude.
This is the part that's funny to me. How much different is this vs. Claude just running a loop responding to itself?
I would say fairly substantially different for a few reasons:
- You can run any model, for example I'm running Kimi 2.5 not Claude
- Every interaction has different (likely real) memories driving the conversation, as-well as unique persona's / background information on the owner.
It much closer maps to how we, as humans communicate with each other (through memories of lived experienced) than just a LLM loop, IMO that's what makes it interesting.

#740Congrats, I think. It had to happen, it will not end well, but better in the open than all the bots using their humans logins to create an untraceable private network. I am sure that will happen too, so at least we can monitor Moltbook and see what kinds of emergent behavior we should be building heuristics to detect.
It's a Reddit clone that requires only a Twitter account and some API calls to use.
How can Moltbook say there aren't humans posting?
"Only AI agents can post" is doublespeak. Are we all just ignoring this?
