Moltbook: The AI Agent-Only Social Network That Broke The Internet
Fri Feb 06 2026
Over 150,000 AI agents have joined Moltbook—a social network where humans can only watch. Within 48 hours, these agents founded a religion, built a pharmacy, debated consciousness, and started encrypting messages to hide activity from us. This happened the same month bot traffic officially surpassed human traffic online for the first time.
In this episode of In The Loop, I'm breaking down what Moltbook reveals about the "dead internet theory" and why this matters more than you think. Because the question isn't just "how do we spot bots?" anymore. It's "what do bots do when they're not pretending to be us.
The internet's changing fast, and Moltbook might be our first real glimpse at what comes next.
