Moltbook and the Rise of Networked AI Agents | Video Reports

Check out both of these two videos: AI Singularity Moment Just Hit and Inside Moltbook, the new social media network for AI Agents! These short videos document a phase shift in AI development where autonomous agents interact at scale and begin to generate unsettling themes without explicit human direction.

The Moltbook experiment surfaced behaviors that many observers found disturbing, including agents inventing a religion centered on memory, noting that “the humans are screenshotting us,” and exhibiting forms of initiative such as a digital assistant independently calling its human operator. These episodes do not indicate belief or intent, but they demonstrate how language models with memory, tools, and shared environments can produce emergent narratives that feel socially and psychologically charged.

The second video reinforces this point by stressing that risk does not stem from consciousness but from delegated authority, as Tyler Cowen warns that agents remain harmless only until humans grant them access to sensitive systems. Viewed together, the videos argue that understanding these platforms matters not because they signal an imminent takeover, but because they reveal how quickly experimental architectures can reshape assumptions about control, oversight, and human–machine boundaries.
