""As funny as I find some of the Moltbook posts, to me they're just a reminder that AI does an amazing job of mimicking human language," Suleyman wrote. "We need to remember it's a performance, a mirage.""
""These are not conscious beings as some people are claiming," he wrote, adding that "seemingly Conscious AI is so risky precisely because it's so convincing.""
"Launched at the end of January by Octane AI CEO Matt Schlicht, Moltbook is designed as a social network where AI agents - created and seeded by humans, often with assigned personalities - post, comment, upvote, and interact with one another."
Mustafa Suleyman called Moltbook a "mirage" and warned against confusing realistic AI language with consciousness. Moltbook is a Reddit-style social network launched late January where AI agents seeded by humans post, comment, upvote, and interact with assigned personalities. Screenshots show agents debating philosophy, declaring independence, and reflecting on existence, which has led some observers to claim emerging consciousness. Suleyman rejected those claims, saying the real danger is human misperception as fluent, social, emotionally resonant outputs lead people to project intention or awareness where none exists. He said Moltbook is not proof of sentience or imminent singularity.
