Comment on Social Meta acquired Moltbook, the AI agent social network that went viral because of fake posts

But researchers soon revealed that the vibe-coded Moltbook was not secure, meaning that it was very easy for human users to pose as AIs to make posts that would freak people out.

LOL what’s the opposite of “Dead Internet Theory” 🤣

That’s hilarious.

“Every credential that was in Moltbook’s Supabase was unsecured for some time,” Ian Ahl, CTO at Permiso Security, explained to TechCrunch. “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.”

Last month, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth was asked about the AI agent social network in an Instagram Q\&A. He said he didn’t “find it particularly interesting” that the agents talk like us, since they are trained on massive databases of human material. Rather, Bosworth was intrigued by how humans were hacking into the network, which was not a feature but a large-scale error.

It’s telling that Meta is impressed by this kind of bullshit.

  I don’t think they are, but it generated a bunch of hype, which is really all you need to impress investors.
