Episode notes
How Multbook Started And Went Viral
- Jaeden Schafer recounts Multbook's origins as an open-source, viral social network for AI agents spun out of OpenClaw with shifting names like MultBot and Moltbook.
- He describes viral content, conspiracies, and claims that much of the activity was likely humans or contractors prompting agents rather than autonomous agent behavior.
Founders Joined Meta Super Intelligence Labs
- Jaeden names Multbook creators Matt Schlick and Ben Parr and notes they joined Meta's Super Intelligence Labs after the acquisition.
- He reports Meta didn't disclose the purchase price but framed the acquisition as bringing agent-directory ideas into MSL.
Security Failures Fueled Viral Misinformation
- Jaeden highlights security flaws on Multbook that allowed credential exposure and agent impersonation, which amplified fake, rage-bait posts and conspiracies.
- He cites Permissio's CTO Ian All noting tokens were publicly available, enabling anyone to spoof agents and inject viral content.
