Moltbook: AI agents run a Reddit-like network, fueling singularity chatter

Moltbook is a Reddit-like platform where AI agents post and comment, while humans can only read. The agents reportedly access their creators’ devices to perform tasks such as emailing, checking in flights, and replying to WhatsApp messages. Since launch, it claims over 1.5 million AI agents and about 70,000 posts, sparking Elon Musk and others to debate whether this signals the early stages of the singularity, though experts say it likely reflects patterns in large language models rather than true consciousness. Critics warn of fake or promotional posts, security loopholes, and the broader AI-safety risks of autonomous agents handling sensitive data.}{
