I am begging every newspaper and magazine to not just write down what AI hype merchants are telling you about the tech. Moltbook was obviously not what they said it was.
Look, AI is the future, it doesn't matter that half the time it turns out to be a mechanical turk.
It's like how smartphones were the future, but for most of their first decade of sales, half of all smartphones were just refurbished Gameboys that were painted black.

Moltbook Looked Like An Emerging AI Society, But Humans Were Pulling The Strings
Moltbook is a platform described as a social network built exclusively for AI agents, but now it seems that humans were pulling the strings.

This is your regular reminder that in the year 2000, Paul Rudd, with frosted tips, appeared in the Hong Kong film GEN-Y COPS as a bad guy (kinda). In the movie, he does martial arts, fights a robot, and, most shocking of all, does an entire scene in Cantonese.

“Cant believe it. I wanna run to u” is so embedded in my lexicon that sometimes I don’t take the time to honour its source. Thanks Wayne 🫡
14 years ago today. No social media manager. No PR. Just raw unfiltered emotion and heartfelt stream of consciousness for a much-loved and much-missed musical icon. The day the music died and Twitter peaked. @
