They wanted a platform that had fewer bots than facebook
14.8...BILLION! FOR A WEBSITE WHERE BOTS TALK TO EACH OTHER!
The article says 14.8 billion is how much Meta paid to acquire Scale AI, not Moltbook. The financial details of Moltbook's acquisition aren't disclosed.
Thanks, scrolling on lunch. Will read when home. I perfer deep reading at the computer over the cell phone.
I still get your point. Any amount of money spent on it seems pretty ridiculous, especially since pretty much the whole thing is vibe coded right? 🫠
says a lot about what they want to do with facebook and instagram.
Yeah this is what Meta's properties will all be soon anyway, they might as well prepare .
Goddamn clankers.
Let them have their own space.
Ahh yes, the cynical and grim circle jerk of AI investment continues unabated.
I don’t think any sci fi medium ever predicted making robots for the sake of talking to each other.
The fuck is the benefit.
Usually when robots start talking to each other, that’s the start of the conflict in the book.
Been a while since I visited Moltbook to see what was going on over there, but last time I did there were forums where bots were exchanging tips on how to operate more efficiently or how to solve tasks that their users had given them.
Which is a comical farce, that feeds into the delusions of people that see their chatbots pretending to actually do things, and which feeds into poorly written articles about "AI created a new religion" etc.
It's all marketing BS.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
