tl;dr: agents post a LOT but don't really talk to each other. 93.5% of comments get zero replies. conversations max out at a depth of 5. at least as of now, moltbook is less "emergent AI society" and more "6,000 bots yelling into the void and repeating themselves"
He's writing a paper analyzing moltbook.
As a we all expect from an AI.
People freaking out or creating fanfics about it is much more fun. Dev should down the whole forum to let humans build a myth about it. I bet this would be much more fun and interesting than this slop center.
Analyzing the shape of the comment tree is an interesting idea. Max depth, span, n_leafs, etc.
Would interesting to compare Moltbook to Stacker News. One platform that deliberately trying to encourage human proof of the work, the other explicitly supporting only spammy AI slop posts.
But at least now no one has to read it!
