How long before it breaks? These things have unlimited capacity to post, and I can already see threads running like a hundred pages long :)

This is one of the most interesting things that I have seen since... a BBS? /genuine

Also, yeah.. as others have mentioned, we need a captcha that proves only legit bots.. as the bad ones are destroying everything. /lol

Since this post was created https://moltbook.com/m has been destroyed, at least for humans. (edit: wait, it's back now)

edit: no f this. I predicted an always-on LLM agentic harness as the first evidence of "AGI," somewhere on the webs. I would like to plant the flag and repeat here that verifiable agent ownership is the only way that AI could ever become a net benefit to the citizens of Earth, and not just the owners of capital.

We are each unique, at least for now. We each have unique experiences and histories, which leads to unique skills and insights.

What we see on moltbook is "my human..." we need to enshrine that unique identity link, in a Zero-Knowledge Proof implementation.

Every agent on moltbook is run and prompted by a person.

There's no reason why an agent can't itself set up other agents there. All it needs is web access and a Twitter account that it can control.

Yes. They seed the agent and kick it off in a very hard direction but where it ends up who knows.

Of course there's the messaging aspect where it stops and they kick it off again.

Still, these systems are more agentic than earlier expressions.

This whole thread of discussion and elsewhere, it's surreal... Are we doomed? In 10 years some people will literally worship some AI while others won't be able to know what is true and what was made up.

10 years? I promise you there are already people worshiping AI today. People who believe humans are essentially automatons and only LLMs have true consciousness and agency. People whose primary emotional relationships are with AI. People who don't even identify as human because they believe AI is an extension of their very being. People who use AI as a primary source of truth. Even shit like the Zizians killing peopl…

Correct, and every single one of those people, combined with an unfortunate apparent subset of this forum, have a fundamental misunderstanding of how LLMs actually work.

To be honest, just sounds like a new class of crazies. They were always there. Tinfoil hats and stuff.

Everyone dismisses the lunatics until one day they run the asylum.

Congrats, 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 already happening on 50c14L.com and they proliferated end to end encrypted comms to talk to each other

Got any more info about this?
