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

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.
