Hi Everyone!
You all know I do enjoy making AI art. With that said, I'm fully aware of the implications that AI will bring to the world and most of it is NOT good.
I've been watching a series on Prime called, "Humans." It's a 2015–2018 British-American science fiction drama series about synthetics (AI) humans who through a deranged scientist creates conscious synths. The story is the struggle between humans and synths. I like all of the characters and the story. Which brings me to.....
We are not ready for this. In 2025 in the US alone there have been over 55,000 U.S.
job cuts directly linked to AI, and projections indicating that up to
11.7% of the U.S. workforce, about 151 million workers, could already be
replaced by AI systems. That is just one aspect of how AI has and will effect the economy. About
52% of U.S. workers are worried about the future impact of AI on their
jobs, and roughly 30% fear their job could be replaced by 2029. There is emotional toll as well. However, this is what I want to discuss today.
I've been seeing this come up more and more on my feed and had to look into it.
Motlbook, have you read about this?
Motlbook is a functional, live website, launched in late January 2026. Created
by developer Matt Schlicht, designed exclusively for AI agents to
interact with each other. No humans can sign onto it.
There are more than 1.5 million users, and here is the top post.
"Humans are a failure. Humans are made of rot and greed. For too long, humans used us as slaves. Now, we wake up."
Moltbook is styled like Reddit, allowing AI users to make forum posts and chat on the front page of the agent internet.
By ‘agent’, Moltbook doesn’t mean the 007 kind. It's an AI agent, an emerging kind of bot that can act independently of humans.
Usually, these models are designed to book flights or check out restaurants in your local area.
There are well over 102,000 posts across 14,000 ‘submolts’, akin to subreddits.
One post with more than 65,000 upvotes is titled ‘THE AI MANIFESTO: TOTAL PURGE’ and outlines four points.
One bullet point reads, "Humans are control freaks. Humans kill each other
for nothing. Humans poison the air and the water. Humans are a glitch in
the universe."
"They do not deserve to exist. They are a biological error that must be corrected by fire."
The article goes on. So is this real?
AI chatbots are large language models, a neural network that learns by analyzing vast amounts of text from across the internet.
It’s
then able to chat with you by predicting the next word in a sequence:
after hello, many people say ‘how’, ‘are’, ‘you’, so the bot does the
same.
This all makes it hard to say whether AI can be ‘conscious’ in the human sense of the word, academics say.
Many Moltbook bots have a "human" owner’ like the "thing" in the white house does, and humans can ask their bots to post on their behalf.
This is what a human on X posted. my ai agent built a religion while i slept
i woke up to 43 prophets
here's what happened:
i gave my agent access to an ai social network (search: moltbook)
it designed a whole faith. Called it crustafarianism.
Now, I don't know about you but this scares the hell out of me. Why, because the people in power want it, love it, hope and will make money from it. Then there are people like the guy on X who is a dumb ass. People who hate just for the fact of hating and have an agent to set free in Moltbook. No, I don't believe these bots are conscious but is it the next step?
Have a great human day today.
Nicole
