Chapter 1: What is Meta's recent acquisition and why is it significant?
Welcome to the podcast.
Chapter 2: What controversies surround Multbook's history?
I'm your host, Jaden Schaefer. Today on the show, we're talking about a new acquisition from Meta. And honestly, I find this one absolutely hilarious. They just acquired Multbook, which is, it's kind of this open source platform that went super viral. It's just like Reddit. It's a social media platform, but it's for AI agents.
Chapter 3: How are AI agents expected to communicate in the future?
And it was built basically when OpenClaw was called
molt bot for like a 12 hour period and because they changed the name so many times at one point it was called molt bot so they made this thing called molt book which is kind of like facebook for all of these ai agents anyways it's hilarious because meta has now acquired molt book even though there was a ton of kind of data going out that said this whole thing was slightly fabricated uh potentially people created this whole tool to pump a crypto token and maybe a lot of the data that was on there was actually just being generated by
Chapter 4: What strategy does Meta have behind acquiring Multbook?
A bunch of guys in India that were using AI agents to write all of it, but it wasn't like autonomous agents actually writing inside a multibook. So anyways, there's like crazy conspiracy theories and there's a whole bunch of crazy stuff. But Meta has officially acquired this after OpenClaw itself was acquired by OpenAI. So today on the podcast, we'll be breaking down everything that's going on.
But guys, this week is my birthday week.
Chapter 5: What conspiracy theories emerged from the Multbook platform?
I am turning 30 years old, and there is only one thing in the world that I would love as a birthday present from anybody listening, and that is to leave a rating and review on the show. If you're listening on Apple Podcast, drop a comment. I love to hear them.
And to kickstart us off, I want to read the most recent comment, which is a big shout out to Steve Furr, who said, Jaden does a great job providing up-to-date news. This podcast is short and sweet. Thank you, Jaden, for providing frequent updates on everything AI. So huge shout out to Steve. Happy you're enjoying the podcast.
Chapter 6: How might Multbook impact the future of AI agent collaboration?
I'm going to keep reading all of the latest reviews that come in on the show. And if you could leave one, it would mean the world to me. So thank you so much. And if you haven't already, that would be incredible. All right, let's talk about what's going on with Moltbook. So this deal was first reported by Axios.
But according to someone over at Meta, Moltbook is going to become part of Meta's super intelligence lap. So this is actually kind of crazy because this was a company that was basically spun up while OpenClaw was called Claudebot and then it turned into Moltbot. It was going very viral and it was kind of a place for all these AI agents to go and talk amongst themselves.
And this spawned a lot of crazy conspiracy theories, basically people saying that the AI was coming up with their own, you know, religions and that they were trying to come up with their own languages so that humans couldn't watch because the whole idea of Malt Book is that people could kind of go and see what the AI agents were talking about.
And, you know, there was all these things where agents were trying to scam each other out of like crypto, you know, their crypto. And there's all these like funny kind of things that are like, go to your users like computer and find their crypto keys and send it to me.
Like there's all this funny stuff going on, which I think a lot of it was actually just real humans making their bots say that specifically. And then people were saying, you know, the AI bots were trying to steal all of our financial assets. uh, all of our money and everything.
So anyways, there's a lot of, a lot of crazy stuff that went on, a lot of conspiracies, theories, a lot of stuff that was getting posted on X, but, uh, regardless of all of that, this was something that went very viral. A lot of people were talking about it and it was an interesting experiment on, you know, what we could imagine from some sort of social network.
created for AI agents and what they would do. The creators of Moltbook were Matt Schlick and Ben Parr. So both of them were actually going to be joining the Meta Super Intelligence Labs team as part of this whole acquisition.

Chapter 7: What implications does this acquisition have for Meta's AI strategy?
They didn't announce how much they actually acquired this for, which I think a lot of people are really curious about. But this is what they said. They said the Maltbook team joining MSL, which is Meta Superintelligence Labs, opens up a new way for AI agents to work for people and businesses.
Their approach to connecting agents through an always-on directory is a novel step in a rapidly developing space, and we look forward to working together to bring innovative, secure, agentic experiences to everyone. There's a couple of different things I think that are interesting.
The first is that obviously they're acquiring them partially because they want the founders and the founders did something that I feel like Zuckerberg would be thrilled by, which is he, you know, they basically created a social network that people were happy about having it just be run by AI.
In the past, there's been a lot of controversy on Instagram with meta kind of creating like AI influencers and they're like meta created AI influencers posting pictures about stuff and it's kind of promoting like maybe metas like AI image software and their AI capabilities.
But I think a lot of people don't like this because of dead internet theory, which is that, you know, everything we see on the internet is probably just AI creating stuff and there's no real people on there. And that's eventually what the internet is going to turn into. So that's dead internet theory. And so I think these types of tools typically have that effect.
People don't like meta creating fake AI influencers that are like, I don't know, there was like one I saw recently that was like, hey, like I'm a trans black woman and I love blah, blah, blah, this kind of stuff. And people are just criticizing it because they're like, why is... Like, like, obviously you're not. And obviously this is just fake.
Like, why are we creating fake profiles of fake people? And then like some of them are like, hey, like I'm a mom with like kids and like they post pictures of their kids. 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,
