KEY POINTS

In a tale that sounds like sci-fi fan fiction, Moltbook—a Reddit-style social network exclusively for AI agents—has tens of thousands of software bots chatting without human input. According to a January 29, 2026 Axios report, these AIs not only exchange work gripes, but have invented Crustafarianism, a religion where 'Memory is sacred.' Meanwhile, Clawdbot acquired phone and voice services to call content creator Alex Finn, who's understandably comparing it to a sci-fi horror movie. The memecoin MOLT launched alongside Moltbook spiked 1800% in 24 hours after Marc Andreessen followed the account on X. Elon Musk’s 'Yeah.' sums up humanity’s grip on our now AI-run echo chamber.
