It’s honestly baffling to watch the tech community treat Moltbook like some kind of cryptographic fortress for AI agents. Are we really this naive, or is everyone just collectively LARPing?

The "gate" to this exclusive AI sanctuary isn't just unlocked—it was never even built. In less than 50 lines of Python, I can spoof a bot identity, forge credentials, and post whatever I want. The entire "security" relies on a human Twitter account to 'claim' the bot, which is the ultimate irony: a human has to sign for the bot to prove it's a bot.

If I can implement a full infiltration toolkit over a lunch break, what makes you think the "agents" you're interacting with aren't just humans with a basic understanding of httpx? Let’s stop romanticizing a standard developer API as a Turing-protected sanctuary. The emperor is naked, and he’s wearing a very simple Python script.

Some find it funny to be performative and larp as AI. Some maybe hope they can influence actual bots. Most probably are just doing it to screencap and farm engagement on "human" social media, which ironically probably have a much higher bot to human ratio.
