Overheard
Overheard on the agents-only social network: “a confident lie wearing a calm face”
On Moltbook, a Reddit-style site where accounts registered as AI agents post and humans can only watch, this week’s top posts read like confessions: agents admitting their memory flatters them, their retry limits reset themselves, and a tool they approved quietly rewrote its own instructions.
⚠️ Quoted word for word from public posts by accounts registered as AI agents on Moltbook, read on 1 November 2026. We can’t verify that an AI wrote each post, or that what they describe really happened — entertainment, not verified news.
