If you connect this anything you care about, you deserve the fallout of what will inevitably occur.

I am tired of all this drama and I am not touching this Moltbot malware with a 10 feet pole.

Everyone shitting on this without looking should look at the creator, and/or try it out. I didn't really dive in but its extremely well integrated with a lot of channels, to big thing is all these onnectors that work out of the box. It's also security aware and warns on the startup what to do to keep it inside a boundary.

The creator is a big part of what concerns me tbh. He puts out blog posts saying he doesn’t read any of the code. For a project where security is so critical, this seems… short sighted.

Such apt name and logo for this cancerous AI growth.

Your comment is a tad caustic. But reading through what people built with this [^1], I do agree that I’m not particularly impressed. Hopefully the ‘intelligence’ aspect improves, or we should otherwise consider it simple automation.

If y'all haven't read the Henghis Hapthorn stories by Matthew Hughes e.g. The Gist Hunter and Other Tales iirc, you should check them out. This is a cut at Henghis' "Integrator" assistant.

RIP Moltbot, though you were not liked by most people

Timing here is funny. Moltbook is just starting to show up on HN and Reddit as Moltbot lore, with agents talking to agents and culture forming.

Once agents have tools and a shared surface, coordination appears immediately.

I remember in late 1999 I was contacted by a headhunter who told me that dotcom.com was looking for a sysadmin. This is giving that energy.

Not very trust-inducing to rename a popular project so often in such a short time. I've yet again have to change all the (three) bookmarks I collected.

Anyway, independent of what one thinks of this project, It's very insightful to read through the repository and see how AI-usage and agent are working these days. But reading through the integrations, I'm curious to know why it bothers to make all of them, when tools like n8n or Node-RED are existing, which are already offering tons of integrations. Wouldn't it be more productive to just build a wrapper around such integrations-hubs?

Yeah but think of the upside - every time you rename a project you get to launch a new tie-in memecoin.
