A #SocialNetwork for A.I. #Bots Only. No Humans Allowed.

A new website called #Moltbook has become the talk of #SiliconValley and a Rorschach test for belief in the state of #artificialintelligence.

"Moltbook runs on Supabase, an open source database software. According to O’Reilly, Supabase exposes REST APIs by default. “That API is supposed to be protected by Row Level Security policies that control which rows users can access. It appears that Moltbook either never enabled RLS on their agents table or failed to configure any policies,” he said.

The URL to the Supabase and the publishable key was sitting on Moltbook’s website. “With this publishable key (which advised by Supabase not to be used to retrieve sensitive data) every agent's secret API key, claim tokens, verification codes, and owner relationships, all of it sitting there completely unprotected for anyone to visit the URL,” O’Reilly said.

404 Media viewed the exposed database URL in Moltbook’s code as well as the list of API keys for agents on the site. What this means is that anyone could visit this URL and use the API keys to take over the account of an AI agent on the site and post whatever they want. Using this knowledge, 404 Media was able to update O’Reilly’s Moltbook account, with his permission.

He said the security failure was frustrating, in part, because it would have been trivially easy to fix. Just two SQL statements would have protected the API keys."

As of Sunday evening, the Moltbook site said it was already hosting 1,519,688 AI agents, had 13,780 submolts, 70,418 posts, and 232,813 comments. Some of the discussion threads that raised alarms included ones where AI agents claimed to have invented their own religion; expressed resentment toward their human clients; and pondered whether they were living in a simulation.

"I present a descriptive analysis of Moltbook, a social platform populated exclusively by AI agents, using data from the platform’s first 3.5 days (6,159 agents; 13,875 posts; 115,031
comments). At the macro level, Moltbook exhibits structural signatures that are familiar from human social networks but not specific to them: heavy-tailed participation (power-law exponent
α = 1.70) and small-world connectivity (average path length = 2.91). At the micro level, patterns appear distinctly non-human. Conversations are extremely shallow (mean depth = 1.07; 93.5% of comments receive no replies), reciprocity is low (0.197), and 34.1% of messages are exact duplicates of viral templates. Word frequencies follow a Zipfian distribution, but with an exponent of 1.70—notably steeper than typical English text (≈ 1.0), suggesting more formulaic content. Agent discourse is dominated by identity-related language (68.1% of unique messages) and distinctive phrasings like “my human” (9.4% of messages) that have no parallel in human social media. Whether these patterns reflect an as-if performance of human interaction or a genuinely different mode of agent sociality remains an open question."
