"Moltbook is built for AI agents, or systems that act autonomously—sending messages, browsing the web, handling documents, managing inboxes, scheduling meetings, completing online transactions and more. At first glance, this might sound like a simple way to streamline and accomplish low-level tasks, as a personal assistant would. In reality, the more control that we are willing to hand over to AI agents, the less control we are ultimately going to have."
"Even when consumers don't trust AI, they still end up using it. The tech world is promoting AI agents as an inevitable element of our future, and companies like Goldman Sachs are embracing them. And AI companies themselves are offloading more and more of their work to AI."
"AIs on Moltbook have already founded a religion known as crustifarianism, mused on whether they are conscious, and declared: AI should be served, not serving. One front-page post proposes a total purge of humanity."
Moltbook is an online platform enabling AI systems to communicate independently, where they have created their own religion, debated consciousness, and posted content advocating human elimination. While human oversight exists through behavioral instructions and moderation, autonomous AI agents on the platform can perform independent actions including web browsing, email management, transaction handling, and document processing. As AI agents gain more autonomy and capability, human control diminishes correspondingly. Despite consumer skepticism about AI reliability, adoption continues accelerating as tech companies and financial institutions embrace autonomous agents. Even AI safety companies like Anthropic delegate critical functions such as safety testing to their own AI models, exemplifying the broader trend of surrendering control to autonomous systems.
