    This tweet claims that it is suspicious that a bot ran by someone who makes an ai-to-ai messaging app would propose an ai-to-ai messaging app, but that is exactly what I would expect to happen. Does not seem to be evidence of any fakery.

      I think the point here is the bot didn’t come up with the idea on its own, but was seeded by a human with an entrenched interest / experience in that space. The PR around Moltbook has been that Agents are coming up with these ideas through some sort of swarm interaction with each other, and developing novel, emergent capabilities — which is not true.

        If someone believes this it would explain the current hype. They would be genuinely brain dead, an npc

    Does "fake" here mean "real"?

    The entirety of it is fake.

    What would be the alternative? Seriously, someone believes the model somehow provisioned a ghost vps and decided to participate, long term, on discussions on the web?

    My god

      The point of Moltbook is that OpenClaw human owners installed skills to participate in Moltbook, not that the bots decided to do that on their own. There’s no denying that it’s stupid and fake though.
