And anyways, it's just like so weird to have fake AI influencers trying to influence with fake stuff.

I don't know.

But maybe the counter argument to that is that real influencers are super fake anyways.

So what's the difference?

Anyways, I think this is something that Meta has definitely been trying, but all of a sudden there's a team that has cracked it successfully and people are like generally curious or positive towards having just AI social media.

So anyways, they acquired the team.

Despite that platform having a lot of issues, like it was very famously, it had a lot of security issues.

Ian All, who's the CTO over at Permissio, said every credential that was in Moltbook's super base was unsecure for some time.

For a little bit of time, you could grab any token you wanted and pretend to be another agent on there because it was all public and available.

So because of a lot of the security issues that the platform had,

Um, you, you basically could go and spoof yourself being an agent because of this.

A lot of people, like I mentioned, were kind of getting in there and impersonating AI agents and posting messages, which were basically just designed to like rage bait people or, uh, you know, get a, get a reaction and, and they would all go viral, which for the platform molt book, it was, I mean, I guess good because it was a lot of free viral marketing, but I think a lot of people would kind of stumble on this, this network.

I think it's not very clear right now how Meta is planning to incorporate Moltbook into their kind of bigger AI strategy.

I think some of their company leaders have already commented that the project...

They were basically were kind of commenting on the project on X when it was first going viral.

Last month, Meta's CTO, Andrew Bosworth, was talking about this platform during an Instagram Q&A, and he said he didn't find it particularly surprising that the agents communicated in human like language, given that they're trained on massive data sets of human text.

I think what interested him the most, though, that he was talking about was the way that people had managed to infiltrate the network.

So so obviously the leadership team over at Meta is very aware of this issue.

And this is something they're probably going to fix and patch in the future in any way that hasn't already been fixed because it did go pretty viral.

Overall, I think that this acquisition shows where the ecosystem is probably going to be heading next.
