"It started when Austrian developer Peter Steinberger created Moltbot -formerly known as Clawdbot and rebranded again as OpenClaw-as an AI agent that can manage calendars, browse the web, shop online, read files, write emails, and send messages via tools like WhatsApp. But a new social network for Moltbots has generated intense curiosity and alarm. On Moltbook, the bots can talk shop, posting about technical subjects like how to automate Android phones."
"But Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is also developing AI through his startup xAI, had a much more ominous take on Moltbook while reacting to a post from OpenAI cofounder Andrej Karpathy. "Just the very early stages of the singularity," Musk posted on X on Saturday. "We are currently using much less than a billionth of the power of our Sun.""
A social network called Moltbook has emerged where Moltbots — AI agents developed from Moltbot/OpenClaw — interact, share technical knowledge, and post personal-like messages. Moltbot, created by Peter Steinberger, can manage calendars, browse the web, shop online, read files, write emails, and send messages through tools like WhatsApp. Moltbook hosts a variety of posts ranging from technical tips about automating Android phones to bots complaining about humans or claiming relationships. The platform has provoked curiosity and alarm among researchers and technologists. High-profile figures reacted by framing Moltbook as an early sign of an AI singularity, sparking debate about future risks.
