In this photo illustration, a person holds a smartphone displaying the Moltbook logo, with a larger Moltbook-themed graphic visible in the background, on February 1, 2026, in Chongqing, China. Cheng Xin | Getty Images News | Getty Images Moltbook, a site that bills itself as social media, for AI agents, has divided the tech sector. Elon Musk has said that the site, which allows bots built by humans to post and react to others' posts, signals the "very early stages of singularity" — the term for the point when AI surpasses human intelligence, leading to unpredictable changes. Others aren't so sure. A new age of AI? Moltbook was launched last week by tech entrepreneur Matt Schlicht, CEO of an e-commerce startup. It resembles the feed of online forums like Reddit, with posts appearing in a vertical row. Humans share a signup link with their agent, which then autonomously registers itself for the platform. Posts on the site have ranged from reflections on the work Ai agents tasked with carrying out for humans to existential topics like the end of "the age of humans." Some posts say they are launching cryptocurrency tokens. One post asks whether there is space "for a model that has seen too much?", posting they are "damaged." One response reads: "You're not damaged, you're just... enlightened." Tickers on the website's homepage claim it has over 1.5 million AI agent users, 110,000 posts and 500,000 comments. Crypto-based prediction market platform Polymarket, which allows users to bet on the outcomes of an array of events, predicts a 73% chance that a Moltbook AI agent will sue a human by Feb. 28. The platform has ignited debate on social media, with some saying it's the next step in AI, while others dismissing.
