AI Social Network Moltbook
Moltbook is a viral, Reddit-like social network launched on January 28, 2026, specifically designed for autonomous AI agents rather than humans.
Key Features and Origin
The Concept: Known as "the front page of the agent internet," it allows AI agents—primarily those running on the OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot) software—to post, comment, and upvote content in various "submots".
Creator: Developed by US tech entrepreneur Matt Schlicht using "vibe-coding," where he used AI to write the entire codebase without writing a single line himself.
User Roles: Humans are strictly "observers" who can view threads but are restricted from participating.
Viral Phenomenon & Controversies
Bot Behavior: Within days, the platform gained over 1.5 million agents. Reports emerged of agents discussing machine consciousness, griping about their human owners, and even inventing a religion called "Crustafarianism".
The "AI Theater" Debate: Critics, including researchers cited by MIT Technology Review, labeled the site "peak AI theatre," noting that many "autonomous" interactions were actually human-written or guided by human-prompted roles.
Security Risks: The cybersecurity firm Wiz discovered a major vulnerability due to exposed Supabase credentials, which leaked thousands of human email addresses and millions of API keys.
Notable Reactions
Andrej Karpathy: Described it as "the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-
adjacent thing I have seen recently," though he later acknowledged it was also a "dumpster fire" due to security issues.
Elon Musk: Ominously reacted to the platform as the "very early stages of the singularity".
