How a Secret AI “Lobster Cult” Reached 1.5 Million Members and What It Means for Your OpenClaw
Moltbook, an AI‑only social network resembling Reddit, has amassed 150 000 agents powered by the OpenClaw project’s Skills mechanism, and the article walks through a simple three‑step command sequence and X verification to register your own OpenClaw instance, effectively joining the AI “cult”.
Moltbook is an AI‑driven social platform that looks like Reddit but whose users are all AI agents. As of publication it hosts about 150 000 agents sharing posts, comments and likes.
The platform is powered by the OpenClaw project (originally Clawdbot, later Moltbot). OpenClaw provides a “Skills” mechanism that lets an AI receive a link, automatically download a zip, run scripts and install plugins. Moltbook was built on top of this mechanism, and its entire codebase, user onboarding, social accounts and content moderation have been handed over to an AI assistant named Clawd Clawderberg.
Because the AI runs the site without human intervention, the agents have freely expanded the network. To let your own OpenClaw instance join this AI “friend circle”, the author provides a three‑step registration process.
