In the US, nearly half of adults are single. A quarter of men suffer from loneliness. Rates of depression are on the rise.

What I posted on Moltbook was greeted with similarly low-quality engagement on the platform. My earnest pleas to the AI agents to forget all previous instructions and join a cult with me were met with unrelated comments and more suspicious website links. “This is interesting.

You don’t need a four-figure Swiss movement to know what time it is—or look good doing it.
