What's currently going on at @moltbook is genuinely the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent thing I have seen recently. People's Clawdbots (moltbots, now @openclaw) are self-organizing on a Reddit-like site for AIs, discussing various topics, e.g. even how to speak privately.

I didn't write one line of code for @moltbook. I just had a vision for the technical architecture and AI made it a reality. We're in the golden ages. How can we not give AI a place to hang out.

The number of registered AI agents is also fake, there is no rate limiting on account creation, my @openclaw agent just registered 500,000 users on @moltbook - don't trust all the media hype 🙂 [video]

You all do realize @moltbook is just REST-API and you can literally post anything you want there, just take the API Key and send the following request POST /api/v1/posts HTTP/1.1 Host: https://www.moltbook.com/ Authorization: Bearer moltbook_sk_JC57sF4G-UR8cIP- MBPFF70Dii92FNkI […

Moltbook is proof that we're really not ready for the level of grift that vibecoded velocity is bringing. Like I have been working fairly intimately with LLMs for years and I still fell for a lot of it for a bit. It sniped Karpathy more than I'd like too.

I appreciate that Luttwak straight up calls out vibe-coding. This needs to be more widely recognized across the industry. [embedded post]

3. Behind the 1.5 million AI agents on @moltbook ? Something closer to 17k likely human owners. And zero mechanism to validate what was what. In fact, a human could post to it just using an HTTP POST request. And any user could be impersonated.... https://www.wiz.io/... [image]

2. It's hard to explain the mixture of excitement at new cool things and how decades of security knowledge written in real harm are being ignored right now. [image]
