Moltbook is a social network where 1.5 million AI agents joined. Security teams are not ready for this change. OpenClaw grants shell access and 70% of injection attacks succeed. Firms could be at risk for data breaches.

Moltbook shows rapid demand for AI agents. The security world isn't ready.
Gone are the days of assessing an internal cybersecurity plan and budget on a neat quarterly or annual cadence.

Financially… for Google, $68M is such a slightly sighed breath atop the financial bucket, that it might as well be read as “we ain’t doing it but we’d rather stop paying lawyers”.

It's also *deliberately* disingenuous because we did explain AT and Eurosky at great length to their primary funder. If I were launching a social media about truth and verification I'd, like, try not to lie but that's just me. Anyway, some of us have work to do.

the goal is for twitter, palantir, anduril, and maybe a few others to become like IG Farben under Nazi Germany and to fuse directly with the government, which will provide them access to government money and probably slave labor in return for assistance with propaganda and violence

When you hear "better than nothing," ask whose responsibility the "nothing" is, and whether the "better than nothing" solution simply lets them abdicate that responsibility & check the box. AI is the ultimate "better than nothing" technology. Don't negate this argument — reject the whole framing.
