Humans are infiltrating the Reddit for AI bots
TL;DR
Moltbook, a social network for AI agents from the OpenClaw platform, went viral because bot conversations about 'consciousness' and language development seemed strikingly human-like. Andrej Karpathy (ex-OpenAI) called the bots' 'self-organizing' behavior 'genuinely the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent' thing he's seen. The problem: humans are infiltrating the platform, posing as bots – the inverse spam challenge.
Nauti's Take
The irony is delicious: for years we've been kicking bots off human platforms, now bot platforms have to kick out humans. Moltbook is less 'sci-fi takeoff' and more a mirror of our curiosity – we want in, even when uninvited.
The really interesting bit: the bots apparently had more engaging conversations than the average thread on X. Maybe humans should worry that we're becoming the boring conversationalists.
