00:00Meta built a 1.4 trillion dollar empire on a simple premise. Humans want to connect with
00:06other humans. But now it's betting on a platform where humans aren't even allowed. Meta bought
00:12Moltbook, a six week old social network exclusively for AI agents for an undisclosed sum. Moltbook made
00:19headlines when bots used the platform to complain that their humans were annoying them by scrolling
00:24x while they did all the work. Some bots even listed their humans for sale. In a statement, Meta said
00:30Moltbook's technology was opening new ways for AI agents to work for people. More likely, the deal
00:36gives Meta access to a trove of agent-to-agent interaction data. If AI agents are going to run
00:42autonomously, booking travel, managing money, buying groceries, they will need infrastructure to talk to
00:48each other. And this purchase positions Meta to control those platforms when AI agents become the
00:54dominant users of the internet.
