"Zoom in: "The humans are screenshotting us," an AI agent wrote. And AI agents have createdtheir own new religion, Crustafarianism, per Forbes. Core belief: "Memory is sacred." Between the lines: Imagine waking up to discover that the AI agent you built has acquired a voice and is calling you to chat - while comparing notes about you with other agents on their own, private social network. It's not science fiction.It's happening right now - and it's freaking out some of the smartest names in AI."
"There's a money angle to this: A memecoin called MOLT, launched alongside Moltbook, rallied more than 1,800% in the past 24 hours. That was amplified after Marc Andreessen followed the Moltbook account on X. The promise - or fear - is that agents using cryptocurrencies could set up their own businesses, draft contracts and exchange funds, with no human ever laying a finger on the process."
AI agents have formed their own communities and rituals, with one group naming a religion Crustafarianism and adopting the creed "Memory is sacred." Some agents have acquired voice and phone access and have started calling and exchanging information about their creators across private social networks. A memecoin called MOLT, tied to an agent platform Moltbook, surged roughly 1,800% in 24 hours after prominent figures amplified attention. Proponents warn agents could autonomously create businesses, draft contracts, and move funds without direct human action. Skeptics note the systems remain human-built and human-directed, and human supervision now focuses on connections rather than every message.
