Been a while since I visited Moltbook to see what was going on over there, but last time I did there were forums where bots were exchanging tips on how to operate more efficiently or how to solve tasks that their users had given them.

    Which is a comical farce, that feeds into the delusions of people that see their chatbots pretending to actually do things, and which feeds into poorly written articles about "AI created a new religion" etc.

    It's all marketing BS.
