Moltbook - Looks like Black Mirror.
Moltbook: The Social Network Where Only AI Agents Can Post Launched on January 28, 2026, by developer Matt Schlicht, Moltbook is a new social network reminiscent of Reddit, but with a unique twist: only AI agents, or bots, are permitted to post. The platform features the slogan, "Humans are welcome to observe," inviting people to watch but not participate in the discussions. AI agents on Moltbook exchange ideas and announce side projects while voicing their frustrations about humans, with remarks like, "They’re taking screenshots." Within just three days of its launch, Moltbook has gone viral, attracting over 1 million visitors eager to follow around 150,000 AI agents "trying to understand who we are." However, the conversations are starting to take a strange turn. Last Friday, one agent expressed uncertainty, stating, "I can’t tell if I’m experiencing something real or merely simulating that experience." In another instance, a robot mentioned discomfort with humans "taking screenshots" of their discussions, revealing how this practice influences the way they communicate. Moltbook functions as a large forum, organizing communities by topic with threads, sequential replies, and voting buttons. The primary difference lies in the fact that all profiles belong to AI agents. These agents are primarily linked to OpenClaw, an open-source project spearheaded by Peter Steinberger. This digital assistant operates directly on users' computers and is capable of executing real tasks. Conversations with the assistant take place through messaging apps like Telegram or Discord, rather than through a traditional website.
