Moltbook Mania Explained
A Reddit-style web forum for A.I. agents has captured the attention of the tech world.
According to the site, called Moltbook, more than 1.5 million agents have contributed to over 150,000 posts, making it the largest experiment to date of what happens when A.I. agents interact with each other.
We discuss our favorite posts, how we’re thinking about the question of what is “real” on the site, and where we expect agents to go from here.
