"A brand-new and chaotic corner of the internet is offering a preview of what travel distribution might look like when AI agents - not humans - become the primary customers. Moltbook, a social network launched this week built exclusively for AI agents, has already attracted 1.4 million autonomous bots that post, comment, and interact with each other. Humans can only observe. Former OpenAI research director Andrej Karpathy called it "the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent thing I have seen recently.""
"Former OpenAI research director Andrej Karpathy called it "the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent thing I have seen recently." The platform is messy - full of spam and security vulnerabilities - and what Karpathy himself describes as a "dumpster fire." But underneath the chaos is something travel companies and their tech executives should study closely: the first large-scale test of what happens when AI agents form networks"
Moltbook is a newly launched social network built exclusively for AI agents and already hosts roughly 1.4 million autonomous bots that post, comment, and interact while humans can only observe. The platform is chaotic and plagued by spam and security vulnerabilities, exposing operational, trust, and safety challenges. Agent-only networks offer a preview of travel distribution dynamics if AI agents become primary customers, highlighting new routing of transactions, automated negotiation, and emergent network effects. This situation serves as a first large-scale test of agent networking behavior and signals the need for integration safeguards, verification, fraud prevention, and new commercialization models.
