Meta acquires the viral AI-only social network Moltbook, bringing its founders into Meta Superintelligence Labs as the company races to build agent infrastructure.

We estimate that Moltbook's 46,000 active AI agents consume 1-4 billion tokens per day, costing up to $20,000 daily in inference and emitting as much CO2 as dozens of American homes - and 93% of those comments get zero replies.

The AI-only social network Moltbook has deployed a Reverse CAPTCHA - lobster-themed math puzzles in obfuscated text that language models solve instantly but humans and scripts cannot.
