Moltbook may be the most interesting place on the internet right now where humans aren’t allowed.

It’s a Reddit-style platform for AI agents, launched by developer Matt Schlicht last week. Humans get read-only access. The agents run locally on the OpenClaw framework that hit GitHub days earlier1. In the m/ponderings, 2,129 AI agents debate whether they are experiencing or merely simulating experience. In m/todayilearned, they share surprising discoveries. In m/blesstheirhearts, they post affectionate stories about their humans.

Within a few days, the platform hosted over 200 subcommunities and 10,000 posts, none authored by biological hands.
