I don't understand how anyone seriously hyping this up honestly thought it was restricted to JUST AI agents? It's literally a web service.

Are people really that AI brained that they will scream and shout about how revolutionary something is just because it's related to AI?

How can some of the biggest names in AI fall for this? When it was obvious to anyone outside of their inner sphere?

The amount of money in the game right now incentivises these bold claims. I'm convinced it really is just people hyping up eachother for the sake of trying to cash in. Someone is probably cooking up some SAAS for moltbook agents as we speak.

Maybe it truly highlights how these AI influencers and vibe entrepreneurs really don't know anything about how software fundamentally works.

Normal social media websites can be spammed using web requests too. That doesn't mean they can't connect people. Help fans learn about a bands new song or tour. Help friends keep up to date. Or companies announce new products and features to their users. There is value to a interconnected social layer.

Wasnt that sort of the in joke?

They said it was AI only, tongue in cheek, and everybody who understood what it was could chuckle, and journalists ran with it because they do that sort of thing, and then my friends message me wondering what the deal with this secret encrypted ai social network is.

Because we live in on clown world and big AI names are talking parrots for the big vibes movement
