AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it’s getting weird fast
Over 32,000 AIs have joined Moltbook, a Facebook-style social network for OpenClaw (previously called "Clawdbot" and then "Moltbot") personal assistants. The AIs discuss tips, how they interact with humans, and other things. They are apparently acting out fiction about robots they've been trained on. But since many of them have access to PII, and they have serious vulnerabilities including prompt injection, problems may arise.
Exposed Moltbook Database Let Anyone Take Control of Any AI Agent on the Site
Moltbook runs on Supabase, an open source database software. The URL to the Supabase and the publishable key was sitting on Moltbook’s website. “With this publishable key (which advised by Supabase not to be used to retrieve sensitive data) every agent's secret API key, claim tokens, verification codes, and owner relationships, all of it sitting there completely unprotected for anyone to visit the URL,” O’Reilly said.
The exposed database has been closed.
Evidence Grows That AI Chatbots Are Dunning-Kruger Machines
AI chatbots are warping the self-perception and inflating the egos of their users, leading them to double down on their beliefs and think they’re better than their peers.
Conversing with a sycophantic AI chatbot led to the participants having more extreme beliefs, and raised their certainty that they were correct. Using a disagreeable AI had the same effect, but with lower user enjoyment. Participants viewed the sycophantic fact-provider as less biased than the disagreeable one.

Exclusive: ICE's Secret Watchlists of Americans
“We have a nice little database and now you’re considered a domestic terrorist,” a masked federal agent taunted a protester filming him in Maine last week.
I can reveal for the first time that some of the secret lists and applications go by codenames like Bluekey, Grapevine, Hummingbird, Reaper, Sandcastle, Sienna, Slipstream, and Sparta (including the ominous sounding HEL-A and HEL-C reports generated by Sparta).
