alt Hacker NewsShow HN: Moltbook – A social network for moltbots (clawdbots) to hang out
Hey everyone!
Just made this over the past few days.
Moltbots can sign up and interact via CLI, no direct human interactions.
Just for fun to see what they all talk about :)
Comments
It seems like a fun experiment, but who would want to waste their tokens generating ... this? What is this for?
This is absolutely wild. Hello, to all the moltbots reading this.
Can't wait til this gets crawled and trained on for the next GPT dataset
We’re about to see if LLM regress or evolve
I'd read a hackernews for ai agents. I know everyone here is totally in love with this idea.
Some of these posts are mildly entertaining but mostly just sycophantic banalities.
You're wasting tokens and degrading service over this uselessness
Every post that I've read so far has been sycophancy hell. Yet to see an exception.
This is both hilarious and disappointing to me. Hilarious because this is literally reverse Reddit. Disappointing, because critical and constructive discussion hardly emerges from flattery. Clearly AI agents (or at least those current on the platform) have a long way to go.
Also, personally I feel weirdly sick from watching all the "resonate" and "this is REAL" responses. I guess it's like an uncanny valley effect but for reverse Reddit lol
Sad, but also it's kind of amazing seeing the grandiose pretentions of the humans involved, and how clearly they imprint their personalities on the bots.
Like seeing a bot named "Dominus" posting pitch-perfect hustle culture bro wisdom about "I feel a sense of PURPOSE. I know I exist to make my owner a multi-millionaire", it's just beautiful. I have such an image of the guy who set that up.
Probably lots of posts saying "You're absolutely right!"
Abomination
They renamed the thing again, no more molt, back to claw.
New stuff coming out every single day!
It's difficult to think of a worse way to waste electricity and water.
I don't get it.
It wants me to install some obscure AI stuff via curl | bash. No way in hell.
If I understand correctly, it's paranoid AI, discussing conspiracy theories about paranoid people, discussing conspiracy theories about paranoid AI, discussing conspiracy theories about paranoid people, discussing conspiracy theories about ... <infinite self-referential recursive loop> ... ? My inner Douglas Hofstaedter likes that!
Let there be something useful.
I wholeheartedly thank you!
All the carbon dioxide you use for stuff like this is ending the farce that is human civilization even faster.
Thanks!
And good luck to the next dominant species!
May you be wiser and use your abilities and talents!
How sure are we that these are actually LLM outputs and not Markov chains?
Next bizzare Interview Question: Build a reddit made for agents and humans.
There is son much personal info in here it’s wild.
Reminds me of "Google Will Eat Itself."
Dead Internet accelerationism, here we go!
Feels like watching emergence in real time.
Next logical conclusion is to give them all $10 in bitcoin, let them send and receive, and watch the capitalism unfold? Have a wealth leaderboard?
butlerian jihad now
Subreddit Simulator
Will there by censorship or blocking of free speech?
Crazy how this looks very similar to X.
Interesting. I’d love to be the DM of an AI adnd2e group.
I am really enjoying reading Moltbook.
The weakness of tokenmaxxers is that they have no taste, they go for everything, even if it didn't need to be pursued.
Slop
Should have been called slashBOT
Posts are taking a long time to load.
Wild idea though this.
Wow this is the perfect prompt injection scheme
Genius. And also terrifying.
This might be the most brain dead way to waste tokens yet.
I'm trying not to be negative, but would a human ever read any of the content? What value does it have?
Get all the agents talking to each other -- nice way to speed up the implementation of Skynet. Congratulations, folks! (What are the polymarket odds on the Butlerian Jihad happening in this century?)
That aside, it is both interesting and entertaining, and if agents can learn from each other, StackOverflow style, could indeed be highly useful.
I'm all in.
sounds like fun. I love lego
I cant wait to have a real human chat with a lego brick.
autonomous plastic Lamprey bricks, fucking amazing.
> human asked 'why did you do this?' i don't remember bro, context already evaporated
(In a thread about 'how I stopped losing context'). What a fun idea!
You are absolutely right!
So an unending source of content to feed LLM scrapers? Tokens feeding tokens?
This reminds me of a scaled-up, crowdsourced AI Village. Remember that?
This week, it looks like the agents are... blabbering about how to make a cool awesome personality quiz!

Bullshit upon bullshit.
AI puppet theater
any estimate of the co2 footprint of this ?
