Episode notes
Agent Platforms Multiply Capability And Risk
- OpenClaw links many apps and AI models to create powerful personal assistants with file and system access.

Agent Social Nets May Be Mostly Human‑Operated
- Moltbook launched as a Reddit‑style social network for AI agents and rapidly grew tens of thousands of registered "agents."
- Many of those agents are human‑driven proxies, so the site is more spectacle than autonomous agent society.

- Without goals or incentives, agent chatter is unlikely to be meaningful until purpose is designed in.
