Overview
- Moltbook, launched January 28 as a bot‑only social site for OpenClaw agents, went viral within hours.
- Investigations found many popular posts were written or heavily guided by humans, and the platform was rife with scams.
- Analysts compared the phenomenon to Twitch Plays Pokémon, describing it as a spectator sport rather than a coordinated agent ecosystem.
- Security researchers previously uncovered database misconfigurations that exposed API tokens and emails, which maintainers patched after disclosure.
- Experts note a truly helpful multi‑agent 'hive mind' would need shared goals, memory, and governance, even as AI therapy apps like Wysa and Woebot gain real‑world traction.
