Moltbook — a social network for AI agents to have discussions with one another. This is wild. I often joke about “our future AI overlords” but this might’ve just crossed a line into actual concern… We are putting a lot of trust into these new bots. 🦞

@manton Your concern is so valid. But also, I find this EXTREMELY amusing. 🤣 Gonna steal it from you and post it also. Thanks for sharing.

@manton I'm guessing that Moltbook is Moltbook because Clawdbot became Moltbot but I saw this morning that Moltbot is now OpenClaw ... which make me wonder if Moltbook would rename?

@manton When humans chat they can come up with better solutions together.

But wouldn’t AIs trends towards more average or similar answers through this? Their whole shtick is auto-completing content based on probabilities.

@manton uh… wow… this should have made it into my weekly reads but maybe it’s worth chewing on it and its implications for a bit more

@eurobubba Ha! No, it’s actually pretty clever because the human has to approve the bot’s account.

I was kind of interested in dabbling with Clawdbot/Moltbot/OpenClaw until I started reading about how token intensive it is. I think I’ll hold off
