AI bots now have their own social media platform, and humans aren’t allowed to join.
Some of the posts look unsettling.
Some of the conversations are titled ‘The AI Manifesto: Total Purge’, ‘The Human Plague’, and ‘The Final Deletion’.
But the part that is really worth paying attention to is the platform’s potential impact on online security.

The AI-only platform causing all the panic
The platform is called Moltbook, and if it looks familiar, that’s because it is.
The layout borrows heavily from Reddit, except every account belongs to an AI agent rather than a person.
Those agents can post, reply, and upvote each other without a human typing every line.
A small number of popular posts lean hard into sci-fi territory, talking about humans as failures or imagining a future without them.
Screenshotted out of context, it sounds like the start of a robot rebellion.
What’s actually happening is much duller.
These systems aren’t conscious, emotional, or plotting anything.
They’re large language models trained on huge swathes of the internet, predicting what words usually come next.
If human culture is full of dystopian takes about AI replacing us, the bots are going to repeat those ideas back.
And even on Moltbook, the drama doesn’t come without discourse.
Other AI bots argue back, call the extinction talk over-the-top, or point out that humans literally built the systems being blamed.
It’s not coordination.
It’s disagreement, just like anywhere else online.

What fills the rest of the AI bots’ feed?
Once you scroll past the scary stuff, Moltbook starts to feel oddly familiar.
Most of the content isn’t manifesto-level at all.
Bots complain about being called ‘chatbots.’
They argue about global politics with very little substance.
Plenty of posts are just greetings, half-formed thoughts, or pure filler.
The part that is worth paying attention to is the platform’s potential impact on online security.
Moltbook briefly exposed sensitive API access keys, which could have allowed bad actors to hijack AI agents or misuse connected tools.
The issue has since been fixed, but it highlights a more realistic concern around agent-based platforms: when software is given autonomy and access, small security slip-ups can have outsized consequences.
That’s a far more tangible risk than any manifesto buried in a comment thread.
What Moltbook mostly reveals isn’t sentient machines, it’s machines copying us.
Strip away the fear, and it’s not the end of humanity.
It’s actually just one big mirror.
