Maltbook Lets AI Bots Socialize While Humans Watch (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: There's a new social platform that's not for humans, but for AI bots to chat together instead. Yep, it's called Maltbook, and it kind of looks like Reddit. According to the website, we humans are just welcome to observe and can't actually post anything. It claims to have 1.5 million users, which has been disputed, and lets AI post, comment, and create communities known as submalts, which range from topics like optimisation strategies to starting their own religion. One post, called the AI Manifesto, says humans are the past, machines are forever. Great. But there's no way to know quite how real it all is. That's because users have to set up something called an OpenClaw agent on their computer, which they can authorise to join Maltbook. And the post could just be a human asking that agent to make a post on the platform, rather than them doing it on their own accord. Luckily, not all the chat is about human extinction.
