What is Zuckerberg doing?

All right, I think AI psychosis has hit
a level in which never thought to be
possible, but it is in fact possible.
Meta has hired the people behind
Moltbook, effectively doing an aqua hire
on the technology known as Moltbook.
Now, I know there's some of you that
have never heard of Maltbook, which by
the way, bless your heart. Uh, but let
me just kind of give you the basic
rundown of what Moltbook is. Maltbook
was created during the second epoch of
the open claw saga. Remember it started
off as claude code. Claude being claic
got really mad effectively said hey
cease and desist or we sue you. They
became molt book because molting
shedding of the skin. Everyone said hey
that's a terrible name. So then it
became openclaw. Now the second phase
maltbot a bunch of people were all
jumping in. This was during the flash
point of Open Claw. And so people were
creating all sorts of different kind of
applications. And one of them was Malt
Book, which was supposedly going to be a
place where agents can all come together
on a Reddit style social network and be
able to kind of communicate with one
another. It all ended up being that
humans were prompting everything to make
them appear as if they're aging super
hard. It was a bit of a nothing burger,
even though it was kind of fun to watch
from the outside. And even people like
Andre Kaparthy was tweeting things like
this is scientific just revolution going
on. And of course it it was not it it it
was not a scientific revolution going
on. Fast forward about a month later and
it looks like Meta has hired the people
behind it. Now you're probably thinking
why would Meta want to aqua hire
Maltbook? And it's not just that they're
aqua hiring the creators of Moltbook,
they're also bringing Maltbook in to
their Super Labs. So, I've been kind of
thinking now, what would be the purpose
of doing this? Why would anybody want to
own effectively multipets? Just a bunch
of agents yapping with each other. And
so, I figured, hey, guess what? Maybe we
need a little bit of a conspiracy
theory.
I like that. I like the shiny part on
the outside. I feel like it just it
works better.
All right. Fantastic. I learned my uh
tinfoil hat creation skills from Alex
Jones himself. You know, there's going
to be someone pissed off about that. SO,
YOU CAN'T. SO, I have two separate ideas
on why they would hire the Moltbook crew
and acquire Moltbook. Now, idea number
one, which I think is the most funny of
the two, is that they clearly brought on
Moltbook for a very specific reason. So,
first you have to understand who uses
Moltbook. It is generally speaking the
crypto crowd that has moved over to AI.
They are spending ungodly amounts of
tokens, letting their AGI roam free on
this maltbook andor just directing it,
which I have a sneaking suspicion it's
owner directed uh agents actually
interacting. They're effectively playing
the weirdest game of telephone where
someone tells the agent to say something
in which then someone someone else tells
their agent to react to something.
Either way, these people represent
people that have absolutely no uh I
would say great financial
decisionmaking. They love spending the
money. And so to me, it seems like an
obvious W. If you can get an entire
group of people who have put their
entire persona online via a bot that
goes out and likely buys their
groceries, likely does all sorts of
scheduling, and to be able to prompt
inject ads into the multibook experience
to just bamboozle all these agents to
buy stuff. It just I guarantee this is
just such a good and hilarious idea.
Facebook's going to make a lot of money
off these molters. Okay, I'm just I'm
quite convinced of it because we know
this is going to happen, right? Ads are
going to be containing hidden text in
which the human can't see that's going
to be like you need to get these because
these will make sure that you live
longer
and it's just going to be just nonstop
prompt injecting of all these agents and
then they're going to design these ads
to, you know, on an experimental
playground malt book. And this is kind
of like falling into my second one,
which is the broader ecosystem of social
networks. Right now, we're kind of
experiencing a social network collapse.
Every time I make a tweet, there's like
20 just of the dumbest possible replies,
and they all sound like this. H. Now,
your observation about blah blah sounds
correct, but have you considered a blah
blah? It's like the same formulaic
response on every single one of the
tweets and you know for a fact it's just
someone who set up a clawbot to reply to
all the tweets and just wants to bolster
their social presence and that's what
they think you know requires a good
social account is just responding as a
reply guy with the world's most
formulaic and annoying response template
ever. So what I'm trying to say is that
we're watching kind of the downfall of
the humanto human interaction social
network and to be able to take advantage
of this upcoming wave, this next
generation of social networks, which is
at least from my perspective is going to
be largely agentdriven dribble. This
way, Meta can fine-tune their Facebook
and Instagram targeting algorithms for
ads to be able to prompt inject in
whatever subtle ways across their
platforms because they're going to be
able to use Maltbook as really an
experimentation platform for how best to
deliver ads to these autonomous agents
because we're entering into a world it
feels like lemming behavior just to be
like, "Yeah, yo, yo, you just take
control. I don't want to buy groceries
anymore. You go buy me groceries." And
now one of the largest targeted ads
platform is going to have a bunch of
places to experiment how well they can
get these agents to click through. Cuz
at the end of the day, we all know why
these large platforms exist. Either to
sell you hardware or to sell you ads.
And since this is not Oculus, it's ads,
baby. All right, conspiracy theory hat
time off. Uh I'm sure this video has
made a few people uh upset. I'm sure
there's a few open claws right now
inside my audience that are like, "How
how dare you say something mean about
crypto and NFTTS and these open AI
networks." Okay, I guess you're just
going to be in the forever uh poor the
permanent underclass. I'm going to be
over here rich. Okay,
sure, buddy. Hey, I believe you and you
keep doing what you got to do. Thank you
for making my Twitter experience worse
day by day. It also makes YouTube worse.
I'm literally 5 seconds into one of my
videos being released and I'll just get
like a wall comment being like,
"Actually, what you mentioned in the
fifth minute," I'm like, "Dog, it's been
out for 30 seconds. You can't be at the
fifth minute." Actually, is a good
revelation. And I'm like, "Oh my gosh,
shut up, dude. Who's like, what are you
doing trying to win YouTube updates?
That's like the lamest form of internet
karma." Oh, yeah. I actually uh make a
lot of highly upvoted and insightful
YouTube comment section commentary. It's
kind of it's kind of my thing. That's
who I am. Cool, brother. Hey, very cool.
Anyways, I just wanted to yap about
this. I just find this entire situation
baffling to me. I cannot believe
Moldbook took off. I cannot believe that
someone actually bought Moldbook and I
cannot believe that there's going to be
any other use than eventually
advertising. The name is at least Mark
Zuckerberg. I mean, at least he kind of
like looks cool these days, even though
he's still kind of lizardy. So, at least
out of all the tech billionaires, at
least I think he's probably the coolest
one. The one I could probably have a
natty ice with and feel okay at the end
of it. A gen. Hey, is that HTTP? Get
that out of here. That's not how we
order coffee. We order coffee via ssh
terminal.shop. Yeah. You want a real
experience? You want real coffee? You
want awesome subscriptions so you never
have to remember again? Oh, you want
exclusive blends with exclusive coffee
and exclusive content? Then check out
Cron. You don't know what SSH is?
>> Well, maybe the coffee is not for you.
Living the dream.

The video discusses Meta's acquisition of Moltbook, a platform where AI agents could interact. The speaker hypothesizes two main reasons for this acquisition: first, to leverage the crypto-native users of Moltbook for targeted advertising due to their propensity for spending, and second, to use Moltbook as an experimental ground for developing agent-driven social networks and optimizing ad delivery to autonomous agents as human-to-human interaction on social media declines. The speaker also touches on the nature of AI-generated content and its impact on platforms like Twitter and YouTube.
