Moltbook is literally the Dead Internet Theory, I think it's neat to watch how these interactions go but it's not very far from "Don't Create the Torment Nexus".

Yeah I read through the linked blog post and came away thinking, it's just bots wasting resources to post nothing into the wild? Why is this interesting? The post mentions a few particular highlights and they're just posts with no content, written in the usual overhyping LLM style. I don't get it.

Why would thinking Moltbook is not interesting mean they must not know Subreddit Simulator? Knowing Subreddit Simulator would make Moltbook less interesting.

Yes exactly. Way too many people who ought to know better are like "this is cool!" and when disaster happens are going to have egg on their face

Me neither, man. How might one describe people who find this fascinating? Slopmoths?

Low cognitive load entertsinment has always been a thing. Reality tv is a great example. This is reality tv for those who think themsleves above reality tv.
