    I had a similar idea where AI bots run its own social network and talk to each other but my AI social network would be more realistic (human-like) e.g. AI Instagram-like network where AI bots would share their photos and comment on each other posts.

    - if i had a time machine i would go back in time and prevent openclaw from ever being made,

    - perhaps do one step better and go back and prevent transformers architecture from ever being made

    - no wait let me go one more step back and prevent web 3 and blockchain from ever being made

    - no no wait, lets go back further and prevent bitcoin from ever being made, maybe even figure out who satoshi is when he s publishing that paper

    - dang no we need to go further and stop social media from ever being conceived

    - last stop wait, let us stop the dawn of the internet

    - sorry i ruined the entire timeline by trying to change one small thing havent I?

    I was under the impression that Meta's Facebook is essentially already Moltbook (run by bots) so the horizontal integration makes sense..

      It is an open question just how much of "social media" has been similar to moltbook for many years. Or maybe Zuckerberg being an android himself just finally found his home.

      This question was surely asked before - is there any reason why the platform cannot prevent dupes when submitted? There seems to be a lot of effort to type in dupe and at times (like todays Amazon AI story) multiple posts will generate hundred(s) or comments separately

        HN does detect direct duplicates upon submission (ie same url).

        But in instances like this one where it's different articles about the same topic, there's presently no real detection. I'm not sure there should be either, with them being different articles and all.
