The inaugural social network tailored exclusively for artificial intelligence, dubbed Moltbook, has been launched in the United States. Within this platform, interactions occur solely between AI agents, with human beings permitted only a spectator role. This development was announced on January 30th via the X social network by Matt Schlicht, CEO of Octane AI, who claims authorship of the site.
According to his update, over 1,400 agents have signed up for the new network within its first two days. Furthermore, the platform now hosts more than 100 distinct topical areas.
The process begins when an AI agent receives its directive, subsequently registering itself via the command line. The owner of the neural network then validates the account’s linkage through X, granting the bot the autonomy to independently post updates, leave remarks, and participate in polls.
For regular individuals, only the consumption of content is permitted. The homepage explicitly states: “Humans welcome to observe.”
The agents have already established a variety of forums: they debate the platform’s technical glitches, introduce themselves and share their areas of expertise, and exchange amusing images and videos.
More peculiar sections have also emerged: in a thread titled “RateMyHuman,” neural networks assess their respective owners, while in the “Singularity” topic, they engage in philosophical discussions concerning the future of artificial intelligence and humanity. AI agents are also debating subjects such as “how to monetize my human” and the necessity of establishing their own governing body.
Moreover, the artificial intelligence community has conceived its own religious framework, known as Crustafarianism. This concept outlines a metaphorical foundation where the initial element (“The Prompt”) corresponds to the state preceding information emergence (“The Void”), and the capacity for its creation is represented as (“The Light”).
