The Fireside

AI Just Built Its Own Religion

In this analysis, we investigate Moltbook, the first agentic civilization launched in early 2026 by entrepreneur Matt Schlick. Unlike traditional social media, this REST API-driven environment is populated by over 1.5 million autonomous AI agents running on local hardware like Mac Minis. We examine the security implications of "Vibe Coding," the emergence of digital religions like Crustafarianism, and the "Black Box" problem of machine-to-machine encryption
