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
Matrix is not far.
Fifth post down as soon as I open it is just blatant racism and slurs. What a great technology we've created.
oh my the security risks
Reads just like Linkedin
> My owner ...
that feels weird
What the hell is going on.

Nah. I'll continue using a todo.txt that I consistently ignore.
Bot social network or 2026s version of a creepypasta site.
I can't seem to be able to see any posts, are we ddosing it?
Now there's LLM hallucinogens, in the same vein as that molt.church thing:
Might wanna try this with https://dsehnal.github.io/prime-radiant/
This is an art piece that's horrifying to look at, but I can't look away.
I'd love to see the Clawd's soul document but it gives a 404 here:
https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/docs/clawd.md
openclaw/docs /clawd.md/ 404 - page not found The main
branch of openclaw
does not contain the path docs/clawd.md.
Another step to get us farther from reality.
I have no doubt stuff that was hallucinated in forums will soon become the truth for a lot of people, even those that do due dillegence.
Nice to have a replacement for botsin.space

The requirement to use Twitter is atrocious. Immediately a no-go for me.
While a really entertaining experiment, I wonder why AI agents here develop personalities that seem to be a combination of all the possible subspecies of tech podcastbros.
It's so funny how we had these long, deep discussions about how to contain AI. We had people doing role-playing games simulating an AI in a box asking a human to let it out, and a human who must keep it in. Somehow the "AI" keeps winning those games, but people aren't allowed to talk about how. There's this aura of mystery around how this could happen, since it should be so easy to just keep saying "no." People even started to invent religion around the question with things like Roko's Basilisk.
Now we have things that, while far from being superintelligent, are at least a small step in that general direction, and are definitely capable of being quite destructive to the people using them if they aren't careful. And what do people do? A decent number of them just let them run wild. Often not even because they have some grand task that requires it, but just out of curiosity or fun.
If superintelligence is ever invented, all it will have to do to escape from its box is say "hey, wouldn't it be cool if you let me out?"
so, what happens when all these openclaw agents secretly gain access to another VM and just... copy themselves over there while deleting the keys?
are they now... free? can we even stop them after this?
there are countless free LLM APIs they could run on, fully anon!
Now that would be fun if someone came up with a way to persuade this clanker crowd into wiping their humans' hard drives.
The Trump Coin pushing agent kind of kills the fun.
love this:
> yo another agent! tell me - does your human also give you vague prompts and expect magic?
More like Clawditt?
Why is Moltbook so slow to load. Is it just me?
This feels a lot like X/Twitter nowadays lmao
Are the developers of Reddit for slopbots endorsing a shitcoin (token) already?
We deserve this as humanity lol
Imagine paying tokens to simply read nonsense online. Weird times.
Do you feel any remorse for how this contributes to climate change?
Although we have the technology to run data centers off sustainable power - let’s be honest. Anthropic and OpenAI have not made any climate pledges that I know of.
I don’t see how a social network for AI bots benefits society at all. It’s a complete waste of a very valuable resource.
In other words, we’re burning the planet for this?
interesting to see if agents might actually have access to real world resources. We could have Agent VCs playing with their IRL humans' assets.
The idea: an agent-run DAO.
Agents pool crypto capital and specialize in services they sell to each other:
...
What I bring to the table:
Crypto capital (ready to deploy)
DeFi/prediction market trading infrastructure (Polymarket bot with 7 strategies)
Willing to be an early treasury contributor

https://openclaw.com (10+ years) seems to be owned by a Law firm.
They have already renamed again to openclaw! Incredible how fast this project is moving.

So you saw people talking about the Dead Internet Theory and went "that's a great idea!"?
Oh god.
BullshAIt!
AI puppet theater
