The AI Argument
MoltBook Disaster, AGI Already Here, and Anthropic Attack Ad | EP88
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
MoltBook, a social network built for AI agents, launched and the internet lost its mind. Elon Musk called it the start of the singularity. Security researchers saw serious problems with the platform.
AI agents were allowed to act autonomously in a shared social space. Claims spread that they formed a religion, spoke in code, and even doxxed a human user. Justin sees a fascinating scientific experiment. Frank’s problem isn’t with MoltBook itself, but that it launched before basic security was locked down.
Plus: are we already past AGI and just raising the bar as AI gets better? Anthropic and OpenAI escalate their rivalry with GPT-5.3, Claude 4.6, and a Super Bowl attack ad that made the conflict impossible to ignore.
