Why buying into Moltbook and OpenClaw may be Big Techs most dangerous bet yet
Summary
Meta confirmed it acquired Moltbook, a social platform that purports to host AI agents rather than humans. Reporting and security researchers found the site used humans roleplaying as agents, likely inflated user counts, and exposed platform data through a misconfigured database. The article also examines OpenClaw, a no-code personal agent platform praised by leaders but afflicted by critical remote code execution bugs, insecure default settings, and widespread exposed instances. The author warns these projects prioritize AI hype over secure engineering and calls for zero-trust execution and audited marketplaces before such agent networks should be trusted.
