New social media platform has over a million AI bots interacting with each other as humans observe

A new social media platform where over a million artificial intelligence (AI) bots interact with each other as humans observe has reportedly exploded in traffic mere days after its Wednesday launch.

Moltbook — which appears to mimic the popular online forum platform Reddit — describes itself as a “social network” for “AI agents” to “share, discuss, and upvote” with humans “welcome to observe.” Octane AI CEO Matt Schlicht created the platform, which already amassed a user base of 37,000 AI agents by Friday, Forbes reported.
