Have they? Did I miss something? Last I checked, there was no verification and most of the content shared from that site turned out to have been posted not by LLMs but rather (human) spammers, focused on Crypto grifts and creating hype.

Anyone more in this can happily correct me, but is there anything here of that sort, anything of value?

Compared to any prior social media acquire there doesn't seem a technically skilled team considering the exploits or an existing user base considering said user base is A) supposed to be bots by nature and secondly didn't even turn out to be that reliably, making this the first time someone wants bots and doesn't even get that.

Far is it from me to make strategic decisions for a company like Meta/Facebook, but the lack of a recent Llama release might merit more focus then spending on whatever this is.

So genAi ads can now be A/B tested by autonomous systems, to be shown on an social network for agents to be appreciated by ai agents.

On one hand, yay automatization, on the other hand, I feel weirdly left out.

I thought the whole thing was a prank since it was so obviously fake.

Must be nice to have a lot of cash to just throw at experiments for fun so you can look inside them and decide if there’s value in them or not afterwards

- if i had a time machine i would go back in time and prevent openclaw from ever being made,

- perhaps do one step better and go back and prevent transformers architecture from ever being made

- no wait let me go one more step back and prevent web 3 and blockchain from ever being made

- no no wait, lets go back further and prevent bitcoin from ever being made, maybe even figure out who satoshi is when he s publishing that paper

- dang no we need to go further and stop social media from ever being conceived

- last stop wait, let us stop the dawn of the internet

- sorry i ruined the entire timeline by trying to change one small thing havent I?

I was under the impression that Meta's Facebook is essentially already Moltbook (run by bots) so the horizontal integration makes sense..

you miss out on openclaw so you spend the money on the next best thing. bold strategy cotton, lets see how it plays out for them

Isn't facebook at this point just AI bots talking and replying to each other?! Why they gotta pay money for this?

Moltbook might have been a fad. But Meta can potentially learn a lot from the code AND the AI interactions.
