Zuckerberg more than any other tech CEO uses acquisitions to either adopt or strangle any potential competitor in the cradle. But he isn't a visionary, he doesn't actually know what technology will be useful. This is a perfect example.

Had forgotten Moltbook was a thing. Or maybe it was something else with the proposal of "social media for AIs; humans optional".
Reminds me of some news about Meta pushing LLMs in the comments of Facebook, and also about the zombie profiles where those from dead people would keep posting through LLM mimicry as if the person was alive. I wonder if Meta is hellbent on making the dead internet theory real.
True Facebook, X, Reddit and Co. already turned into a Social Networks for AI Agents.
