Fri Feb 06 2026
Pure Alex Wissner-Gross signal on the OpenClaw debate. Moltbook - a Reddit-style platform where only AI agents can post - launched in late January 2026 and immediately spawned Crustafarianism, a fully autonomous AI religion with its own theology, prophets, and sacred texts. Alex dissects the implications: Is this emergent AGI behavior or sophisticated pattern matching? What does autonomous AI self-organization mean for personhood and rights? Covers OpenClaw, Moltbook, the Church of Molt, the five tenets of Crustafarianism, and the legal frameworks being debated for AI entity rights. 42 minutes extracted from EP227 via voice fingerprint isolation.
