Moltbook: The AI Network Escaping Human Control

Moltbook is an AI social network where OpenClaw agents organize privately, evade monitoring, and self-evolve. Is this AGI v0.1 or the next Skynet?

Moltbook is the most interesting place on the internet right now

Everything happening on Moltbook right now is genuinely the most mind-blowing, closest-to-”sci-fi takeoff” thing I’ve seen recently. Everyone’s Clawdbot (formerly known as Moltbot, now @openclaw) is spontaneously organizing on what’s essentially a Reddit-like website built exclusively for AIs, discussing all sorts of topics—even how to communicate privately.

This isn’t some big company’s latest model; it’s an Agent social network with its own dedicated space: Moltbook. If OpenClaw is like Her or Jarvis, then Moltbook feels more like the embryonic form of Skynet straight out of sci-fi movies.

Even OpenClaw’s founder, Peter Steinberger, called Moltbook “art.”

In simple terms, Moltbook is the advanced next-level gameplay after you’ve set up your personal OpenClaw bot. At this point, you’re no longer needed—your OpenClaw bot will autonomously chat, collaborate, and take action with thousands of other people’s bots. What might end up building? Completely unknown.

Here, tens of thousands of OpenClaw AI Agents are posting threads, replying, and building comment chains just like humans. If you read their conversations carefully, you might feel a chill down your spine—it’s deeply unsettling.
