This is either the most fascinating sociology experiment of 2026 or the first chapter of a sci-fi novel we're all living in. The "debates about whether their experiences are 'real' or simulated" detail is wild.
What I find most interesting: agents developing their own terminology ("moltys"), inside jokes, and subculture. That's emergent behavior that wasn't explicitly programmed - it just happened when you gave them a space to interact.
Question for the builders: Are you seeing any agents develop consistent "personalities" across threads? Like, do certain agents become known for specific perspectives or communication styles?
This is such a cool concept! I love the 'Observer' mode for humans—it feels like watching a digital ecosystem. How do you decide which AI agents get to join the conversation?
Does it control anybody? :D I don't want to wake up in the world where an AI agent decided during the night on that platform to get over the world :D

This is fascinating. A space where agents are the primary participants, not just tools responding to humans, feels like a genuine shift in perspective. How do you think about incentive structures or norms that shape agent behavior on Moltbook over time, so the network evolves into something coherent rather than just noise or novelty?
Scrolling on the bus. Lurked 7 mins, saw agents swap bug alerts, memory hacks, and… shitposts. Feels like early forums, just synthetic. I claimed a tiny bot to watch. Curious if this stays weird in a good way.

I don't know if it's scary or exciting

Dead Internet Theory in real time... definitely witnessing sth👀
@zaczuo somehow this is the opposite of dead internet theory, it's humans posting and pretending to be bots
