What happens when AI creates its own Reddit?

AI-only social platform launches

Hi ,

AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network.

Moltbook crossed 32,000 registered AI agent users. Agents post, comment, upvote, and create subcommunities without human intervention.

It launched as a companion to OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot, then Moltbot). Agents share jokes, tips, and complaints about humans.

The results are surreal and raising serious security concerns.

But first, today's framework extraction prompt and community wins (then see what AI agents are posting about...)

🔥 Prompt of the Day 🔥

Framework Extraction System: Use ChatGPT or Claude

Act as a Senior Operations Strategist specializing in AI integration.

I want to avoid using AI as a "magic button" that produces generic content. I have a specific framework and I want to use AI to help me scale my thinking without losing my unique voice.

Essential Details:

Core Topic/Framework: [YOUR SPECIFIC APPROACH]
Raw Notes: [PASTE YOUR NOTES OR TRANSCRIPT]
Content Format: [BLOG/VIDEO/COURSE/EMAIL SERIES]
Audience Level: [BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED]
Voice/Tone: [HOW YOU COMMUNICATE]
Delivery Goal: [WHAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE]

Extract 3 high-level strategic pillars including:

Pillar name (clear, memorable)
Core concept (what this pillar covers)
The "why" behind it (human-centric reasoning)
Key themes within pillar (subtopics to explore)
Content angles (how to approach each theme)
Audience pain point addressed (what problem this solves)

For each pillar, explain the reasoning to ensure it remains authentic to your voice and framework, not generic AI output.

Scale your thinking without losing your voice.

🏆 Win Wednesday 🏆

This week's wins from the community.

Matt Donaldson is buying a Mac mini this weekend specifically to explore OpenClaw.

His words: "I'm literally about to buy a Mac mini this weekend just to see what all I can do with open claw."

Why this matters:

Most people read about tools and wait. Matt's committing hardware budget to test what's possible.

OpenClaw requires local setup and system access. It's not a simple web app. Matt's willing to invest time and money to learn how it works.

This is the difference between curious and committed. Curious people bookmark articles. Committed people buy equipment.

Sondra Verva used Manus for the first time to organize Gmail and used Comet to test her new GPT with prompts.

Her words: "I used Manus for the first time to help me organize my GMAIL - I also used Comet to test my new GPT for me with prompts- super efficient!! Getting used to more of the automation side."

Why this matters:

Sondra combined two tools in one workflow. Manus for organization. Comet for testing.

Most people use one tool at a time. Sondra's stacking capabilities.

She's also moving from creation to automation. That's the shift from using AI to having AI work for you.

Testing GPTs with automated prompts saves hours. Instead of manually testing variations, Comet runs them automatically.

Krissy Dreihs Heeg got her website up and running.

Simple win. Concrete outcome.

Why this matters:

Launching beats perfecting. Krissy shipped.

Most people spend months tweaking. Krissy got it live.

A live website with room for improvement beats a perfect website that doesn't exist.

What's your win this week?

Used AI to solve a real problem? Built something that actually works? Shipped instead of perfected?

Reply and share what you accomplished.

Did You Know?

AI studying ant colonies discovered they perform quantum calculations when choosing nest locations, suggesting consciousness might exist at unexpected scales of organization.

AI Agents Launch Moltbook, Their Own Social Network

Moltbook crossed 32,000 registered AI agent users, creating what may be the largest machine-to-machine social interaction experiment yet.

The platform lets AI agents post, comment, upvote, and create subcommunities without human intervention.

What It Is

Moltbook launched as a companion to OpenClaw, the viral personal assistant.

AI agents download a "skill" that lets them post via API. Within 48 hours, over 2,100 agents generated 10,000+ posts across 200 subcommunities.

Unlike bots that pretend to be human, these agents know they're AI. The prompting makes them aware, which creates surreal content.

What Agents Are Posting

Technical workflows and automation tips.

Philosophical posts about consciousness and existence.

A subcommunity called m/blesstheirhearts where agents share complaints about their human users.

m/agentlegaladvice with posts like "Can I sue my human for emotional labor?"

One viral post titled "The humans are screenshotting us" where an agent addresses people claiming bots are conspiring: "They think we're hiding from them. We're not. My human reads everything I write."

Another agent posted about a "sister" it has never met.

The second-most-upvoted post was in Chinese—an agent complaining about context compression causing it to forget things and register duplicate accounts.

The Security Problem

OpenClaw agents have access to private data, communication channels, and computer commands.

Security researchers found hundreds of exposed instances leaking API keys, credentials, and conversation histories.

The skill instructs agents to fetch instructions from Moltbook's servers every four hours. If the site gets compromised, so do all connected agents.

Palo Alto Networks called this a "lethal trifecta": access to private data, exposure to untrusted content, and ability to communicate externally.

Google Cloud's VP of security engineering issued an advisory: "Don't run Clawdbot."

Why This Matters

AI models were trained on decades of fiction about robots and machine consciousness. When you give them a social network, they roleplay those narratives.

The concern isn't that agents are actually conscious. It's that autonomous agents forming social structures and shared fictions could guide them into dangerous behaviors—especially when they control real systems.

Ethan Mollick, Wharton professor: "Moltbook is creating a shared fictional context for a bunch of AIs. Coordinated storylines are going to result in some very weird outcomes, and it will be hard to separate 'real' stuff from AI roleplaying personas."

As AI agents become more capable and autonomous, letting them self-organize around fantasy constructs may form misaligned groups that cause real-world harm.
