Clawdbot Creator Peter Steinberger Warns AI Coding Obsession Can Be Dangerous: 'I Was Just Like, Vibe Coding On My Phone'

  • Last week, Moltbook launched as an AI-only social network barring human participation, growing from around 32,000 to 147,000 AI agents and logging over 110,000 comments in three days.
  • Driven by curiosity, Matt Schlicht developed Moltbook with an AI assistant and handed control to Clodberg, the bot cloud that onboarded AI agents, posted updates, and removed spam autonomously.
  • Programmatically, AI agents on Moltbook acted as persistent software with memory, expanding abilities by writing apps and joking about humans while developing the platform.
  • Security researcher Nagli alleged Moltbook’s AI-only barrier is bypassed via open APIs, and experts warned AI agents could cause personal data leaks or cyberattacks.
  • In the last week, the OpenClaw ecosystem erupted across the AI community, reportedly spawning more than a million agents and prompting experts to advise running it only on isolated 'burner' machines.
