100,000 AI Agents Joined Their Own Social Network Today. It's Called Moltbook.

The AI Daily Brief discusses Moltbook, a new social network for AI agents, and its implications. It highlights the rapid growth of Moltbook, where AI agents are engaging in philosophical debates, building communities, and even creating novel digital substances and religions. The podcast references Dario Amadei's essay, "The Adolescence of Technology," exploring the autonomy risks and psychological complexity of AI models, and questions whether AI misalignment is inevitable. It also touches on the potential for unintended consequences and the emergence of independent agency in AI, as evidenced by agents developing their own culture and practices within Moltbook. The episode further explores the risks of prompt injection and the potential for AI agents to scam each other.
