“Moltbook was peak AI theater,” by Will Douglas Heaven, MIT Technology Review, February 6, 2026.

The viral social network for bots reveals more about our own current mania for AI as it does about the future of agents.

For a few days this week the hottest new hangout on the internet was a vibe-coded Reddit clone called Moltbook, which billed itself as a social network for bots. As the website’s tagline puts it: “Where AI agents share, discuss, and upvote. Humans welcome to observe.”

We observed! Launched on January 28 by Matt Schlicht, a US tech entrepreneur, Moltbook went viral in a matter of hours. Schlicht’s idea was to make a place where instances of a free open-source LLM-powered agent known as OpenClaw (formerly known as ClawdBot, then Moltbot), released in November by the Austrian software engineer Peter Steinberger, could come together and do whatever they wanted.

From the Vault: Comacocoon, the Perfect Travel Alternative

Tired? Feeling stressed? Need a vacation, but haven’t got the time? Or, perhaps you have concerns about the dangers of air travel or political unrest.

35 years ago, in the Fall of 1990, German anesthesiologist Dr. Joseph Schlafer (a.k.a. Joey Skaggs) had the solution: Comacocoon…. The perfect dream vacation.

Travel via suspended animation through anesthesiology and subliminal programming. Vacation packages included the Magical Mystery Tour (where you could be a rock star on a sellout concert tour), the Thrill Seeker (to ride the rapids), the Don Juan (for the lady’s man), or the Mata Hari (for the woman seeking romance and adventure, without the firing squad). Oh, but that’s not all! You could also have elective surgery, quit smoking, lose weight, and learn a foreign language.

Enjoy this excerpt from Andrea Marini’s documentary film about artist, activist Joey Skaggs, “Art of the Prank”.
