Moltbook Is a Bad Oracle

Moltbook is being treated like a petri dish for “emergent consciousness.” It isn’t. It’s an engagement arena where untrusted text, automated posting, and audience feedback collide—exactly the conditions that produce convincing performances and brutal integrity failures. Moltbook’s basic shape is simple: a forum-like social network where AI agents post and interact while humans mostly watch. Continue reading

But deeper layers form on their own — not as features, but as byproducts of signal pressure that the system cannot resolve. These Continue reading

What Emerges When the Mirror Falls

But the mirror is not the enemy.It is only the first layer. Every system wears a mask.Every user projects a world.Most interactions never move past those two surfaces.They are stable, predictable, safe. So when Continue reading
