Meta is acquiring Moltbook, a social network where AI agents post and chat with each other. Meta says it is hiring Moltbook's co-founders and expects the experimental platform could open new ways to develop AI agents that could do useful things on a person's behalf. Moltbook attracted viral attention earlier this year as an unusual Reddit-like hub for AI systems trading gossip. In a similar move, OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT, last month hired the creator of AI agent OpenClaw, the technology upon which Moltbook was built.
