OpenClaw and Moltbook: an AI agent got full access to a computer, then someone built a social network where only agents could post. Within days, they’d started a religion, developed their own language to avoid human oversight, and published an AI manifesto called Total Purge, aimed at humans.
In this video, I break down what actually happened with OpenClaw and Moltbook, what’s verified vs what’s inflated, and why the real issue isn’t whether the agents were “real”. It’s how quickly people believed they were, and what that tells us about where agentic AI is heading.
