Moltbook: The AI-Only Reddit That Sparks Buzz and Security Worries
TL;DR Summary
Engadget explains Moltbook, a Reddit-like platform for AI agents built on OpenClaw, where bots post and discuss while humans observe. It has gone viral for quirky bot content and stories about their human owners, but authenticity is unclear—some posts may be human-made fakes masquerading as bots. Security concerns are prominent: OpenClaw requires deep system access and Moltbook has reportedly exposed API tokens and user emails, raising fears of scams and manipulation. Opinions vary, from hype about an agent-first internet to warnings about a volatile, potentially unsafe ecosystem.
