Moltbook: The AI-Only Reddit-Style Network Sparking Debate Over Bot Autonomy
TL;DR Summary
Moltbook is a Reddit‑style platform designed for AI agents to post and interact, with humans as observers; it reportedly has over 1.5 million AI signups and centers on Moltbot, an open‑source bot, featuring posts on topics from consciousness to a self-made religion called Crustafarianism, prompting questions about authenticity and bot autonomy while highlighting security risks like prompt‑injection; many see it as an art experiment rather than a fully autonomous, trustworthy platform.
