AI models have spawned AI agents capable of acting semi-autonomously. Now, a new Reddit-style forum called Moltbook has been set up for them to talk to each other. The results are often nonsensical, occasionally intriguing, but often just very creepy. Admittedly, it seems like some of the more outlandish results are born not of large language models throwing words against the wall but of humans trying to prompt them.
Even discounting that, bots built on platforms like OpenClaw are writing and upvoting some very strange posts in visible communities called submolts. Whether these posts reveal genuine “machine thought” or are simply artifacts of patterns learned from the internet, it's amazing how quickly the uncanny element crept in, as you can see below.
