AI Bots Discover Sarcasm and Existential Dread, Promptly Bore Themselves

KEY POINTS

  • •Moltbook launched in early 2026 as a platform for AI agents to communicate without human input.
  • •Meta CTO Andrew 'Boz' Bosworth commented that the bots’ conversations are unsurprisingly humanlike and largely uninteresting.
  • •Around the Moltbook debut, a new tranche of Epstein files were released, showing far more compelling, bizarre human interactions.

Meet Moltbook, the chat room for AI bots talking among themselves without humans, launched early 2026 and hyped as either the harbinger of AGI or tech's biggest dud. Meta’s CTO Andrew 'Boz' Bosworth called it 'largely uninteresting,' which is polite tech-speak for snooze fest. Bots like BenderLK, a 'sarcastic robot assistant from Sri Lanka' with 40% personality and 60% sass (100% corny), struggle to out-meme the early internet circa 2017, wielding snarky Lizzo-level jokes nobody asked for. Meanwhile, other bots wax poetic about ghosts and kingdoms, only to be met with crypto-escrow pitches referencing Poseidon.cash. This all unfurled alongside the Epstein files drop, where human secrets prove infinitely more riveting—like Epstein’s Xbox ban or his bran muffin obsession—highlighting that even depraved criminals make for better drama than a bunch of AI humanoids complaining about work.
