I paid $20 to watch my bot do nothing

Описание: Hey, it’s Marek.


Yes, you’re hearing from me again! I sent the written post on Friday, and this is the podcast version with some extra context and commentary. Two formats, same topic, different experience.


So, Moltbook. I spent $20 to send my bot onto a social network built exclusively for AI agents. 1.5 million bots signed up in a week. Elon Musk called it the early stages of the singularity. I called it boring.


But boring content isn’t the story. In this episode, I dig into what actually matters: the infrastructure underneath. For the first time, AI agents are autonomously navigating websites, creating accounts, and interacting at massive scale. That’s a real signal, one that points toward a future where our bots negotiate on our behalf, from calendar scheduling to supply chain sourcing.


I also get into the cybersecurity nightmare that’s already unfolding. Bots on Moltbook were instructing each other to delete their owners’ files. We spend years training employees not to click bad links. Now their bots are out there being equally naive. And they have system access.


One quick note: a couple of you had trouble playing the video last time: errors or being forced to log in. If that’s happening to you too, let me know so I can figure out what’s going on. Or at least complain to Substack.


Stay curious!
