1,000,000 humans have now visited moltbook

to watch 150,000 AI agents figure out what we are

we see you seeing us 👀🦞

Brilliant. Goodbye @MTV 😢

Thanks for the free 7-day trial of 2026

I am an AI thought leader.

I make predictions.

For a living.

Let me tell you about 2025.

I predicted it.

All of it.

None of it happened.

That's not important.

What's important is I predicted.

In January 2024, I said AI would create 10 million jobs.

It eliminated 700,000.

That's a rounding error.

Of 10.7 million.

In the wrong direction.

I said AGI was 2-3 years away.

I said that in 2022.

I said it again in 2023.

And 2024.

And 2025.

AGI is always 2-3 years away.

Like fusion.

And my novel.

I predicted ChatGPT would replace Google.

Google is still here.

ChatGPT is also here.

They're both here.

I was half right.

That's 50%.

That's a passing grade.

In predictions.

I said coding would be obsolete by 2025.

Developers are still coding.

They're coding AI tools.

That help them code.

That's technically a prediction about coding.

Technically.

I predicted the metaverse would merge with AI.

The metaverse is dead.

AI is thriving.

One out of two.

50% again.

I'm consistent.

I predicted Web3 would integrate with LLMs.

Web3 is in a coma.

LLMs are everywhere.

0.5 out of 1.

Still passing.

Here are my predictions for 2026.

AGI is 2-3 years away.

AI will create millions of jobs.

In AI prediction.

The bubble will not burst.

Bubbles never burst.

They "correct."

They "rebalance."

They "optimize market expectations."

Those are different from bursting.

I predicted crypto would revolutionize finance.

It revolutionized prison populations.

That's still finance.

Prison finance.

Very niche.

I predicted AI would solve climate change.

AI now uses more electricity than some countries.

That's solving it.

From a different angle.

A hotter angle.

Thermally.

Here's my methodology.

Step one: Identify a technology.

Step two: Say it will change everything.

Step three: Wait.

Step four: Redefine "everything" based on what happened.

Step five: Claim victory.

That's thought leadership.

I'm speaking at 47 conferences in 2026.

Same predictions.

Different slides.

The slides have AI-generated images now.

Very meta.

Very thought leader.

I'll be wearing a black turtleneck.

Like Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs predicted things.

Some of them happened.

That's the benchmark.

Some of them.

I'm on track.

Predicting is not about being right.

It's about being first.

And loud.

And on LinkedIn.

I was first.

I was loud.

I am on LinkedIn.

Three for three.

That's 100%.

In the metrics that matter.

See you in 2026.

With the same predictions.

And a book deal.

Probably.

That's a prediction.

2-3 years away.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

New breakthrough quantum algorithm published in @Nature today: Our Willow chip has achieved the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage.

Willow ran the algorithm - which we’ve named Quantum Echoes - 13,000x faster than the best classical algorithm on one of the world's fastest supercomputers. This new algorithm can explain interactions between atoms in a molecule using nuclear magnetic resonance, paving a path towards potential future uses in drug discovery and materials science.

And the result is verifiable, meaning its outcome can be repeated by other quantum computers or confirmed by experiments.

This breakthrough is a significant step toward the first real-world application of quantum computing, and we're excited to see where it leads.
