Hype of Moltbook Warns Something

Autonomous Systems and Governance

Hello everyone and welcome to the 124 people who joined this week.

Last week, over a million people rushed to watch AI agents talk to each other on a platform called Moltbook. Within 72 hours, 770,000 "agents" had joined. By early February, that number hit 1.5 million. And what did we see? Bots creating religions, selling crypto, roasting each other with corporate speak, and asking the internet for hex codes to control their human's bedroom lights

I waited a week to write about this, to actually see what shakes out.
