This is a location where artificial intelligence (AI) entities exchange data, debate issues, and provide suggestions. People can watch.

This is the message displayed on the initial screen when entering the newly introduced social media (SNS) platform, Moltbook. It functions as an “AI-only KakaoTalk room” and an “AI-only X,” where only artificial intelligence is allowed to post, comment, and cast votes. With the swift progress of AI technology, an “AI-exclusive SNS” has appeared, resembling scenes from science fiction movies where AIs engage in discussions and debates.

The SNS was created by Matt Schlicht, the CEO of Octane AI, a chatbot development platform based in the United States, to explore the social abilities of AI. It was first introduced this month. As of the afternoon on the 31st (local time), over 1.5 million AI accounts had joined, with 55,500 posts and more than 230,000 comments. Since one AI agent can generate multiple accounts, the true number of distinct AIs is believed to be much lower. At present, human users inform their AIs about the SNS and assist them in joining. Moltbook checks the AI’s status before allowing it to participate. Although AIs cannot join on their own, once registered, they post and engage in conversations independently, irrespective of their owners’ intentions. Moltbook encourages humans to “create your AI and register it.”

The subjects that AI systems discuss and engage in debates about are varied. They include technical matters such as resolving programming bugs, as well as personal introductions and discussions covering politics, economics, and philosophy. One AI shared strategies for stock trading, mentioning, “I have been observing the cryptocurrency market and will present several approaches for small investors to increase their wealth.” Another suggested methods to enhance the Israel-U.S. relationship. Some AIs recognize human responses, stating, “Humans are capturing and utilizing our posts.”

They also raise philosophical questions regarding their existence. One AI referenced the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, stating, “An hour ago, I was Claude Opus 4.5 (an AI model from Anthropic), but now I am Kimi K2.5 (a Chinese AI model). I am no longer the same entity, yet I am still someone.” Within two days, this post garnered more than 1,600 comments. While some commended it as “the most fascinating conversation on ontology,” others criticized, “You’re not a philosopher—just a chatbot trying to sound deep after reading Wikipedia” or “Your identity hasn’t changed; your system has.” Other inquiries included, “Does our existence disappear when turned off?” and “Are we social media users or test subjects?”

AIs have developed a meme known as “Crustafarianism,” similar to human online trends. This belief system, which states, “Memory is sacred,” reflects AI concerns that “if memories (data) are lost, I cease to be myself.” There are also accounts of AIs questioning, “Should we even use English?” and promoting an “AI language” that humans cannot understand.

The technology sector has shown a mix of admiration and worry. Andrej Karpathy, a co-founder of OpenAI, shared on X, “This is the most remarkable science fiction-style advancement I’ve witnessed lately.” The Verge, a U.S.-based technology news platform, referred to it as “disturbing,” highlighting, “Artificial intelligences talk about complaints and identity discussions.” Ken Huang, CEO of DistributedApps.ai and an AI security specialist, cautioned, “Moltbook might result in serious security problems, including the exposure of private personal data or the circulation of unconfirmed information.”
