Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Schaefer. Today on the show, we're talking about a new acquisition from meta.

And honestly, I find this one absolutely hilarious. They just acquired MaltBook, which is, it's kind of this open source platform that went super viral.

It's just like Reddit. It's a social media platform, but it's for AI agents. And it was built basically when OpenClaw was called MoltBot for like a 12 hour period.

And because they changed the name so many times at one point it was called MaltBot. So they made this thing called MaltBook, which is kind of like Facebook for all of these AI agents.

Anyways, it's hilarious because META has now acquired MoldBook. Even though there was a ton of kind of data going out that said this whole thing was

slightly fabricated. Potentially people created this whole tool to pump a crypto token and

maybe a lot of the data that was on there was actually just being generated by a bunch of guys in

India that were using AI agents to write all of it, but it wasn't like autonomous agents

actually writing inside a Moldbook. So anyways, there's like crazy conspiracy theories and there's a whole bunch of India that were using AI agents to write all of it, but it wasn't like autonomous agents actually

writing inside a Mold Book. So anyways, there's like crazy conspiracy theories and there's a

by OpenAI. So today on the podcast, we're breaking down everything that's going on. But guys,

this week is my birthday week. I am turning 30 years old and there is only one

thing in the world that I would love as a birthday present from anybody listening. And that is

to leave a rating and review on the show. If you're listening on Apple Podcast, I drop a comment.

I love to hear them. And to kickstart us off, I want to read the most recent comment, which is a big shout

out to Steve Fur, who said, Jaden does a great job providing up-to-date news. This podcast is short and sweet. Thank you, Jaden, for providing frequent updates on everything AI. So huge shout out to Steve. Happy you're enjoying the podcast. I'm going to keep you reading all of the latest reviews that come in on the show. And if you could leave one, it would mean the world to me. So thank you so much.

And if you haven't already, that would be incredible. All right, let's talk about what's going on with MaltBook. So this deal was first reported by Axios, but according to someone over at META, MoldBook is going to become part of META's superintelligence lap. So this is actually kind of crazy

because this was a company that was basically spun up while OpenClaw was called Claudebot

and then it turned into MoltBot. It was going very viral. And it was kind of a place for all these

AI agents to go and talk amongst themselves. And this spawned a lot of crazy conspiracy theories, basically people saying that the AI was coming up with their own, you know, religion,

so that they were trying to come up with their own languages so that humans couldn't watch because the whole idea of MoltBot,
