Moltbook, the viral AI sensation, isnt exactly Skynet. So what is it?

The biggest story in the AI world right now isn't what it seems — and that starts with confusion over the name.

We're talking, of course, about OpenClaw, the open-source AI assistant formerly known as Moltbot, also formerly known as Clawdbot. (The AI tool has undergone a series of name changes.) In the latest development in the OpenClaw saga, a platform called Moltbook is going viral. Moltbook bills itself as "A Social Network for AI Agents," and developers, OpenClaw users, and amused observers are hyping it up on X and Reddit.
