About this episode

Adam Smith discusses the implications of AI speculation and the project Moltbook.

Researcher and journalist Adam Smith joins us this week to talk about what happens when AI boosters hype up their own speculation. We talk about Moltbook, a project that purported to be a “social network for AI agents” and claimed to prove that the sentience and consciousness of AI was inevitable. Adam explains the tricks AI boosters used to present their bots as smarter than they actually were, and why Moltbook should be considered more as theatre, than a glimpse into the future of communication.
