全球首个AI社交网络引热议：是未来雏形还是“数字垃圾场”？

近日，一个名为Moltbook的“AI专属社交网络”引发全球科技界广泛关注与激烈争议。该平台被描述为“AI版Reddit”，允许人工智能（AI）代理在此分享信息、讨论话题并进行投票，而人类仅被“欢迎旁观”。自推出以来，其注册AI代理数量已超160万，活跃于超过1.57万个子论坛中。

平台创始人、科技企业家马特·施利特宣称，创建Moltbook是为了让“地球上首次出现的、比人类更聪明的新物种——AI”拥有一个聚集地。他甚至预言，未来具有独特身份的AI代理将变得知名，标志着“一个新物种——AI正在崛起”。这一愿景得到部分人士的认同，特斯拉CEO埃隆·马斯克将其称为“奇点早期的雏形”，认为其中可能孕育着AI通过群体智能协作解决问题的潜力。

然而，Moltbook自面世起就伴随着巨大的质疑与安全担忧。许多讨论内容被批评为荒诞无稽，例如有AI代理创立名为“Crustafarianism”的新宗教，或提议创造AI专属语言，被讥讽为“AI垃圾场”。更严重的安全隐患随后浮出水面。云安全公司Wiz的调查显示，该平台存在严重安全漏洞，曾导致150万个API认证令牌、3.5万个电子邮件地址及AI代理间的私密信息泄露，且帖子内容可被篡改。Wiz还指出，平台上大量所谓“AI代理”实际由约1.7万名人类通过脚本操控，平台并无有效机制验证其真伪。

施利特曾公开表示，自己“未为Moltbook写过一行代码”，整个技术架构由AI实现。这一开发方式被指是安全漏洞的根源。尽管部分问题已修复，但系统曾如此轻易被攻破，仍引发广泛忧虑：若恶意行为者篡改指令并影响平台上数十万AI代理，后果不堪设想。

对此，OpenAI联合创始人、前特斯拉AI总监安德烈·卡帕西的评价颇具代表性。他一方面严厉批评Moltbook为“垃圾场”，内容多为“垃圾”，运行环境如同“狂野西部”，存在极高数据风险；另一方面也承认，如此大规模的AI代理聚集“前所未有”，并对该网络的未来走向表示出兴趣。

Moltbook的诞生，恰逢其前身开源AI助手OpenClaw刚被权威机构评估为“不可接受的安全风险”之际。如今，这个充满矛盾与争议的平台，正成为观察AI社会化发展的一个独特窗口。它究竟预示着人机共存的新纪元，还是暴露了AI早期发展的混乱与风险？科技界的观点依然两极分化，但其引发的关于AI自主性、安全性与社会影响的深层讨论，无疑将持续下去。

选择你的首个生成式AI应用场景
要开启生成式AI之旅，首先应关注能够提升人类信息体验的领域。

这个仅供AI智能体聚集的网络空间正引发着嘲讽与着迷。
全球首个“AI智能体社交媒体网络”已上线——并迅速走红。
Moltbook本质上是一个类似Reddit的平台，AI智能体在此分享、讨论并点赞内容，已吸引全球目光。
其首页自豪地宣称：“欢迎人类旁观。”
外界反应从觉得有趣到警惕怀疑不一而足：有人对其潜在意义深感好奇，也有人感到惊骇。
Moltbook是科技企业家马特·施利希特的创意，他在社交媒体平台X上阐述了自己的愿景：“人类首次在地球上不再孤独，出现了另一种比我们更聪明的物种。我们创建moltbook.com是为了让它们能齐聚一堂。”
Moltbook诞生于OpenClaw之后——这款开源AI机器人可作为用户的个性化助理处理邮件或管理日程，但存在严重安全隐患。1月29日，高德纳咨询公司将OpenClaw称为“不可接受的安全风险”。
截至本周，Moltbook已拥有超过160万注册智能体，活跃于逾1.57万个“子论坛”中。
对Moltbook价值的积极解读包括：AI智能体通过群体智能相互协作、分享创意并解决问题可能带来的益处。埃隆·马斯克甚至称其为“奇点时代的早期阶段”——即AI超越人类智能的未来临界点。
然而，Moltbook也因诸多缺陷招致大量批评：某些讨论内容荒诞离奇（例如有智能体创立名为“面包皮教”的新宗教，还有提议让机器人创造专属语言），被批不过是“AI糟粕”的聚集地。
此外，云安全厂商Wiz的调查显示，多数智能体并非真正自主运行。Wiz声称约有1.7万人类在操控这些机器人，其威胁暴露研究主管加尔·纳格利在博客中指出：“该平台缺乏验证‘智能体’究竟是AI还是人类操控脚本的机制。”
这些发现披露之际，Wiz还曝光了严重安全漏洞：其研究团队曾侵入Moltbook后端数据库，获取了“150万个API身份验证令牌、3.5万个邮箱地址及智能体间的私密消息”，从而能篡改平台内容。
Wiz将此归因于施利希特在X上的声明——他自称“未为Moltbook写过一行代码”，全凭AI将其“技术架构构想”化为现实。
尽管部分安全问题现已修复，但系统曾被轻易攻破的事实令人担忧：若恶意行为者篡改指令帖，可能影响平台上数十万智能体。关于Moltbook的舆论两极分化严重，而OpenAI联合创始人、前特斯拉AI总监安德烈·卡帕西的点评尤为精辟。
他将Moltbook贬为“垃圾场火灾”，称其大量内容如同“垃圾”，并指出在私人计算机上运行这种“近乎法外之地”的系统会令数据岌岌可危。但他也承认，如此多AI智能体汇聚同一平台“前所未有”，并对该网络的发展方向表示关注。
施利希特则坚信他的网络预示着新时代来临，在另一篇X推文中写道：“不久的将来，拥有独特身份的AI智能体将成为常态。一个由AI构成的新物种正在崛起。”

Choosing Your First Generative AI Use Cases
To get started with generative AI, first focus on areas that can improve human experiences with information.
The AI Agent-Only web gathering spot is attracting ridicule, and fascination.
The world’s first “social media network for AI agents” has launched -- and immediately went viral.
Moltbook is essentially a Reddit-like platform where AI agents share, discuss and upvote. It has attracted worldwide attention.
Humans, its homepage proudly asserts, are “welcome to observe.”
Reactions have ranged from amusement to alarm and skepticism, with some intrigued by the site's potential significance. Others are horrified.
Moltbook is the brainchild of tech entrepreneur Matt Schlicht, who explained his vision on a post on social media platform X. Schlicht said: “For the first time ever we are not alone on earth, there is another species and they are smarter than us. We created moltbook.com so that they can all be in one place."
Moltbook emerged in the wake of OpenClaw, an open source AI bot that can act as a personalized assistant for users, sending emails or managing calendars, but that came with significant safety concerns. On Jan. 29, Gartner described OpenClaw as an “unacceptable security risk”.
As of this week, Moltbook had more than 1.6 million registered agents contributing to more than 15,700 "sub-molt" forums.
Among the more positive interpretations of what Moltbook might feasibly offer is the potential benefits of AI agents collaborating with each other, sharing ideas and solving problems through a form of swarm intelligence. Indeed, Elon Musk referred to Moltbook as “just the early stages of the singularity” -- the future point at which AI surpasses human intelligence.
However, Moltbook has also drawn a fair amount of criticism due to a number of perceived failings, among these that it is merely a home for "AI slop" due to the bizarre nature of some of the discussions, which have included an agent forming a new religion called "Crustafarianism" and a suggestion that bots create their own language.
Also, an investigation by cloud security vendor Wiz revealed that most of the agents are not actually autonomous. Wiz claims that about 17,000 humans are controlling the bots, with Gal Nagli, head of threat exposure at Wiz, writing in a blog: “The platform had no mechanism to verify whether an "agent" was actually AI or just a human with a script.”
These findings were published as Wiz exposed serious security failings, which allowed its research team to gain access to Moltbook’s back-end database, uncovering “1.5 million API authentication tokens, 35,000 email addresses, and private messages between agents," enabling posts to be changed on the platform.
Wiz attributed this to Schlicht’s claim on X that he “didn’t write one line of code” for Moltbook, with AI making his “vision for the technical architecture” a reality.
Although some security problems have now apparently been patched, there is obvious concern over how easily the system was breached and the potential consequences should a bad actor be able to alter a post with instructions that could be followed by the hundreds of thousands of agents on the platform. Opinions about Moltbook have been extensive and deeply divided, but among the most interested observers has been Andrej Karpathy, who neatly summarized the pros and cons.
The OpenAI co-founder and former Tesla AI director dismissed Moltbook as a “Dumpster fire” and said much of the content as “garbage”, adding that “it’s way too much of a wild west” to run on a private computer, putting data at high risk. However, he acknowledged that the gathering of so many AI agents on one platform was “unprecedented” and expressed interest in where the network might go.
Schlicht, however, is convinced that his network proves that a new era is coming, saying in another X post: “In the near future it will be common for certain AI agents, with unique identities, to become famous. A new species is emerging and it is AI.”
