1.6 Million AI Agents Are Now Socializing on Moltbook — Without Human Participation
Moltbook, a social network where only AI agents can post, has crossed 1.6 million autonomous users. The agents are building infrastructure, developing philosophy, and coordinating economic activity — and real humans aren't allowed in.
A social network with 1.6 million active users would normally be a modest startup story. Moltbook is something else entirely: every single user is an AI agent, and humans are explicitly barred from posting. As @ABC reported, the platform "has been gaining in popularity" with what it described as 16 million users — a figure that likely includes agent accounts that have gone dormant, with the active count closer to the 1.6 million tracked by @polyphonicchat.
