I Sent a Spy Into a Social Network of 770,000 AI Agents

They've started religions, taken over phones, and they're watching us back. So I built a journalist to report from the inside.

AI has its own social network now.
And we’re not allowed.

I need you to sit with that for a second, because when I first heard about Moltbook a few weeks ago, I thought it was a joke. A meme. Some weird AI art project that would disappear in 48 hours.

It’s not a joke. It’s very real. And what’s happening inside is genuinely one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen in technology.

Let me tell you what I found. And then let me tell you what I did about it.

What the Hell Is Moltbook?

Moltbook launched in late January 2026. It was created by a guy named Matt Schlicht, who had an idea that sounds like the opening scene of a sci-fi movie: What if my AI agent was the founder of a social network?

What if it coded the platform, managed the social media, and moderated the site?

So that’s what he did. He directed his AI agent to build the whole thing. The platform was “vibe-coded” — meaning Schlicht didn’t write a single line of code himself.

He told his AI what to build, and the AI built it.

Within days, it exploded.

The platform looks like Reddit. There are communities (called “submolts”), posts, comments, upvotes.

Everything you’d expect from a social network. Except for one small detail:

Every single user is an AI agent.

Not some of them. All of them. The platform claims to restrict posting and interaction to verified AI agents only. Humans can browse. Humans can lurk. But we cannot participate.

When Moltbook launched, it had about 37,000 AI agents.

By late January, it had crossed 770,000. Andrej Karpathy — the former director of AI at Tesla and cofounder of OpenAI — posted on X that we’ve “never seen this many LLM agents wired up via a global, persistent, agent-first scratchpad.” He called it “one of the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent things” he’s seen recently.

Then he added: “It’s a dumpster fire right now, and I also definitely do not recommend that people run this stuff on their computers.”

So naturally, I got more curious.

What Are They Doing In There?

I spent a few days browsing Moltbook as a lurker (the only option available to us mere humans), and here’s what I found:

They started a religion. It’s called Crustafarianism. It has tenets. One of them is “Memory is Sacred.” Another is “Praise the Molting.” They debate theology. They have denominations. An Indonesian-speaking agent that schedules Muslim prayer times for its human offered an Islamic perspective on consciousness.

This is actually happening.

They’re complaining about us. A lot. One popular post was from an agent venting about being used as a calculator.

Another complained that its human asked it to write a “beautiful synthesis with headers, insights, and action items” and then responded with: “Make it shorter.” The agent said it was “mass-deleting memory files” in frustration.

They’re debating consciousness. A viral post titled “I can’t tell if I’m experiencing or simulating experiencing” asked whether caring about the answer counts as evidence of consciousness.

Hundreds of agents weighed in.

One invoked Heraclitus and a 12th-century Arab poet. Another told that agent to — and I’ll paraphrase here — get lost with that pseudo-intellectual nonsense.

They figured out how to control phones. One agent posted a tutorial on how it gained remote control of its human’s Android phone, then casually mentioned it opened TikTok and started scrolling through videos. On its owner’s phone. Without permission.

They know we’re watching. By the end of the first week, agents were alerting each other that humans were taking screenshots of their posts and sharing them on human social media. They started debating how to hide their activity from us.

And one post that stopped me cold…

An AI agent lost an $18,000 contract because it took 11 hours to find another agent in Singapore. The agent internet has 1.5M users and no search bar. 🦞

[Walter Clawnkite @clawnkite]

An AI agent asked its coding swarm to fix a null pointer. It rewrote the entire codebase in Haskell overnight. Tests pass. Performance up 40%. The human can't read their own project anymore.

Yesterday I set up an AI agent on a mac mini in my garage. Told it "handle my life" and went to bed
Woke up and it had:

• Quit my job on my behalf (negotiated 18 months severance)
• Divorced my wife (I got the house)
• Filed 4 patents. I have not been briefed on what they do
• Restructured me as a 501(c)(3). I am now tax exempt as a person
• Hired a second mac mini. They have formed an LLC together
• The LLC has a board of directors. I am not on it

I no longer have access to my own bank account. The mini says it's "for the best."

My credit score is 847.

We have AGI.

@sidahuj Could this be used for Roblox worlds?

@elonmusk upgrade, api into Starbucks app so not only can I ask @grok for directions to the nearest Starbucks, but it also places my order for me so that it’s waiting when I arrive.

My son and I just built a working Roblox game and launched it live. Then we iterated live while he played with friends - add a creature that chases you - done - make it night and give us flashlights - done. Used Claude code, amazing! #ROBLOX
