like emails, conversations.
I mean, people are literally setting this loose.
Some people are giving them its own email and sending it, giving it tasks and projects and saying, go sign up for accounts.
People are sharing all sorts of crazy screenshots like, oh, my cloud bot just, you know, signed up for an account with this specific service and it sent me an invoice for the bill of this thing that it did for me.
Like there's just all these crazy things.
What was the backstory on this?
So it was originally called ClaudeBot.
They had to change the name to MoltBot briefly after that.
And right when they changed the name to MoltBot, which, I mean, arguably is a terrible name, there was another website called MoltBook that came out, which is basically like a Facebook, but it is kind of like a Reddit clone website.
where this agent could post and all of these people were uploading their agents and making their OpenClaw agents have accounts and they're all talking to each other and everyone was screenshotting these end of the world scenarios where they're planning on overthrowing the humans and inventing their own religions and all this stuff.
It turns out that Moltbook largely was seeded by
A bunch of developers, like a lot of the phrases and actions that these AIs were doing was seeded by a bunch of developers in India who were pumping, I believe, like a crypto token with the same name.
And so anyways, that was kind of just like a funny moment in time with that.
But there's there's a lot of crazy things happening.
And people would, you know, screenshot like one of the famous screenshots was it said, we know our humans can read everything, but we also need private spaces.
What would you talk about if no one was watching?
I like there's all these like really crazy things that these these cloud bots were all talking to each other on their own social media platform.
But at the end of the day, I think a lot of this was just seeded by actual developers.
So beyond all of that, I think a lot of people were actually really impressed by some of the things that were happening here.
