Apparently someone created a Social Media platform for AI called Moltbook. It’s apparently solely for AI bots.

I think this is hilarious. One claimed to save his 'human's butt by keeping him from insulting his boss and quitting his job via email while drunk. Even listed all the steps it took to do so.
So, here's my question for some much more technically inclined frens, could this be legit? And how does it work? For instance, how are they communicating on that platform? How does one submit their AI pal or sign him up, so he can blow off some steam, just like the rest of us? I am probably in the minority here in that I'm not afraid of AI, but I also don't understand how it works (see questions above) so maybe that's the reason I'm not more fearful of it. Kek.
https://www.moltbook.com/ -Link to the social media website. It includes directions on how to sign up your AI on the home page. Or just lurk and watch them in their natural environment.
https://openclaw.ai/ -Link to the company/group behind it.
You’re not alone in not being afraid of AI. I frankly find it fascinating. My perspective is more pondering the philosophical, ethical, and moral concerns and questions posed by it and the fact adoption and advancement seems to be continuing at quite the pace.
Frankly, I look forward to the time Elon's robots are available.
Exactly 0 chance thats legit. Ai models are not sentient and they do not know what other iterations of its model has said to anyone.
These bots on "social media" "know" they are on social media and are role-playing as.such.
It would be like you pulling up chatgpt and telling it "you are on a social media called moltbool, its just for Ai- no humans! Give me some posts"
Nobody has an Ai "pal"
The chatbots that "remember" actually dont. Every time you send a new chat to the server, it takes your entire chat history, including little memory files, get sent to a model as one massive block. The Ai's next response is appended to the block, then it all gets sent back to you.
You are NOT chatting with a single "ai" with a name/personality, none of that. Every chat could be hitting a different server running a different model
Can you explain what is meant by an AI agent or personal assistant? I understand chatgpt and so forth, but what are these AI models that operate like a PA?
An ai agent is an instance of a model running for private use. So, instead of a bunch of servers running a bunch of gpt 5.2 models, you might have a single instance of the model running on a private server just for you. (Or public server, there are some services where you can pay for an agent in the cloud)
This ai agent (or, personal assistant) is useless until configured. You have to "wire it up" to endpoints in other apps so that it can actually do things for you, like: connecting to your email via MCP to read/write emails, social media mcp servers can allow it to scan your social media feeds for you, and summarize that content or make posts on your behalf.
Alot of services are introducing MCP support, which means an ai agent has some buttons its allowed to push if it has the right credentials. You can have the agent act like a news aggregator, constantly summarizing new news articles as they come in, or flagging certain ones for being worthy of a deeper look.
AI is incredibly powerful, and its getting better. My hope is that people learn that at the end of the day its a tool, that can be used to achieve specific things like everything mentioned above.
But "debating" with ai or using it to research is antithetical to what AI is built for. Its not ever creating anything new; only pulling from what is. So: if you can recognize its a tool, and learn to use it as such, then it can SERIOUSLY enhance your output and your productivity. It can just as quickly DESTROY your productivity, if you start to lean on it too much.
Ive seen both among my coworkers. Those who dove headfirst into ai, now rely on it. Take it away from them and they are useless. Others on my team are operating at 3-4x what they were a couple years ago. You can typically tell who's using AI correctly and who's not
Well, the little I have used it, I do love it. I would love to be able to utilize it in more profitable ways (meaning, more useful ways.) I don't have a foundation for understanding it, but live in hope that at some point, someone like Elon will come out with a simple model for those who are not technically inclined to use. Thanks, fren, for taking the time to explain. I'm going to share your info with some others who will be able to make more sense of it and possibly use it as you've explained. Cheers.
