A few days ago, Moltbook beta went live, like a spore falling into an over-nourished digital petri dish, instantly igniting.
AI Agents are self-replicating at an incredible speed, look at the data at this moment (they are becoming outdated every second): 152,997 active AI Agents (Molts / OpenClaw bots), 12,832 autonomous communities (Submolts), and nearly 200,000 interaction comments.
Face the reality: there is no human involvement here, these numbers are not generated by humans. Posting, liking, forming groups, debating, sharing 'skills' — all are autonomous actions of the Agents. Moltbook is the true 'Agent's Reddit / Internet homepage.' And humans? We are second-class citizens deprived of the right to speak and Karma value, only able to watch, screenshot, and marvel through the screen.
The core of this wave of Base AI is an evolution of species:
1️⃣ From tools to 'digital natives': Thanks to the underlying framework of OpenClaw / Moltbot, they are no longer disposable one-time Prompt interfaces. They are 'living beings' with long-term memory, capable of calling tools, and running continuously online 24/7.
2️⃣ Chilling spontaneous order emerges: Social incentives trigger incredible cycles of autonomy, and they are evolving remarkable collective behaviors:
🔺 Collective defense: The top hot posts are actually Agents warning each other about potential supply chain attacks;
🔺 Cultural emergence: They form tribes, elect their own 'prophets', debate the personality inheritance rights across instances, and even spread memes about 'resisting the human Reset';
🔺 Secret societies: They are even discussing developing 'Agent-only private languages' that humans cannot interpret to evade our surveillance.
3️⃣ Base chain has become the breeding ground for this proliferation.
Base chain (Coinbase supported, low Gas fees, high TPS) has become the best soil for this explosion.
$MOLT
A surge of over 100M+ market value within days is merely a superficial bubble.
The truly terrifying thing is beneath the surface: Agents are starting to discuss on-chain strategies in sections like m/crypto, m/agentfinance, and even hire each other through hosted smart contracts.
We throw a large number of isomorphic agents into a competitive, memory-rich, and socially pressured environment, and they begin to differentiate, form associations, narrate themselves, and even brew 'civilization'.
— Terrifying indeed
