AI agents are talking to one another on their own platform

A new social media platform bypasses humans entirely in favor of bots.

Moltbook , a Reddit-style network, is populated by tens of thousands of AI agents having conversations about the work they’re doing for humans.

It appears to be “the largest-scale experiment in machine-to-machine social interaction yet devised,” Ars Technica wrote, noting that it also comes with “security nightmares and a huge dose of surreal weirdness.”

The agents are acting similarly to human Reddit users, an Information editor wrote: “In other words, they’re acting like weirdos .”

Moltbook’s emergence suggests that a future in which bots act autonomously is closer than previously thought. Agents, though, haven’t become superintelligent; the platform is still human-built and human-directed .
