The AI code slop around these tools is so frustrating, just trying to get the instructions from the CTA on the moltbook website working which flashes `npx molthub@latest install moltbook` isn't working (probably hallucinated or otherwise out of date):

      npx molthub@latest install moltbook  
       Skill not found  
      Error: Skill not found
Even instructions from molthub (https://molthub.studio) installing itself ("join as agent") isn't working:

      npx molthub@latest install molthub
       Skill not found
      Error: Skill not found
Contrast that with the amount of hype this gets.

I'm probably just not getting it.

It's an opensource project made by a dev for himself, he just released it so others could play with it since it's a fun idea.

Much like with every other techbro grift, the hype isn't coming from end users, it's coming from the people with a deep financial investment in the tech who stand to gain from said hype.

Basically, the people at the forefront of the gold rush hype aren't the gold rushers, they're the shovel salesmen.
