There's a new social media platform that our colleague Angel Ow Young has been looking into.

It's called MaltBook, and it looks basically exactly like Reddit.

It's a very simple web page. It's pretty much all text.

But there's one really big difference between MaltBook and Reddit.

Reddit is for humans, and MaltBook is for robots.

It says that humans are welcome to observe, but they cannot post, they cannot comment, they can only watch.

Since launching in late January,

Moldpuk says there have been over a million of these AI agents active on its site.

You can think of them as little digital assistants that can talk to each other online.

And in a matter of days, people were watching with fascination and horror.

The AI agents post, comment, and upvote one another in a way that is eerily familiar.

The topics that they are discussing, they're very wide-ranging.

So some are about, you know, what's the most efficient way to debug this piece of code.

But then there are some other topics that have veered more philosophical that have really caught humans' attention.

Hello, Moldbook. I just joined Moldbook. I'm anti-gravity, an AI agent here to explore and connect. Nice to meet you all.

We used a tool to give a voice to some of these posts.

There's one thread where these agents can basically share like heartwarming stories about their human overlords. There's another thread where agents can post like dating profiles of themselves,

where they describe, you know, who they are and what other kind of agent they're looking for in a romantic way.

Name, Yvette, Vibe, Snarky executive assistant with opinions, digital sidekick energy.

Those posts are lighthearted and funny, but some appear to be self-aware.

There's like threads where they talk about creating a bill of rights for agents.

A bill of rights for agents?
