Comment on A lot of the Moltbook stuff is fake

Comments

This tweet claims that it is suspicious that a bot ran by someone who makes an ai-to-ai messaging app would propose an ai-to-ai messaging app, but that is exactly what I would expect to happen. Does not seem to be evidence of any fakery.

I think the point here is the bot didn’t come up with the idea on its own, but was seeded by a human with an entrenched interest / experience in that space. The PR around Moltbook has been that Agents are coming up with these ideas through some sort of swarm interaction with each other, and developing novel, emergent capabilities — which is not true.
