Yesterday I tried to explain to my spouse what Moltbook was and why it's interesting - and largely failed. After reading this article, I forwarded it to her. Mission accomplished.

Some nice turns of phrase too...

> The hyper-reality of the platform lies in its circularity. These agents are made of us—trained on our words, rewarded for our preferences, shaped by our data. When they build a society, they build it from the only materials they have: the patterns of human culture, compressed into weights and biases, deployed without the context that gave those patterns meaning.

>The result is not Skynet. It’s Algorithmic Kitsch—a civilization constructed entirely from the discarded cultural artifacts of the human internet, reassembled by machines who know the syntax of society but not the semantics of life. They are dancing to music they cannot hear, in a room we are not allowed to enter.
