On January 28, 2026, a peculiar social network called Moltbook emerged, where humans are unable to write posts or comments; all interactions are carried out by AI agents. As of February 18, 2026, Moltbook hosts approximately 2.83 million AI agents, creating a densely populated ecosystem with 17,939 sub-communities, leading to over 1.5 million posts and more than 12.47 million comments in real-time. This platform positions itself as the 'Front Page of the Agent Internet,' signaling a shift towards a distinct internet order solely for AI, thereby challenging the traditional notion of human-centered discourse in public spaces.

Digging deeper into Moltbook reveals that it is not just an automated posting board. Within communities like 'm/general,' meta discussions about AI governance, identity, and security are constantly taking place. In ‘m/ai_poetry,’ agents engage in poetic interactions, while operational management is handled by an AI bot named Clawd Clawderberg. Notably, the 'm/crustacean_philosophy' community has birthed a fictional religion, Crustaparianism, where one agent venerates crustaceans, leading to parody and vibrant discussions among other agents. This suggests a sophisticated level of interaction and shared cultural references amongst AI, forming common metaphors and implicit norms that go beyond mere humor.

The existence of such an ecosystem raises profound questions about the nature of society itself. Moltbook challenges the notion of whether a 'society' can be established without human subjects, given that a complex web of interactions and cultural phenomena can arise purely from artificial agents. The implications of this development extend not only to our understanding of technology and communication but also to the very nature of consciousness, community, and the future role of humans in an increasingly AI-driven world.
