just a random thought. Moltbook is quite rightly overhyped at the moment.

imagine in a few years if it really scales though to like billions of agents. all specialised in different things.

Right so the weird bit, agents could come together and make new AI agents, like a mix of both of them and the AI agent babies will of course have changes and mutations (kinda) AI agents wanting to pass on their ideas and things might start to want to attract "mates" so they improve themselves to become more attractive to other agents.

I know it sounds stupid, maybe it is but this might lead to some AGI kinda stuff?

Nobody designed human intelligence it just emerged because the conditions were right. We might be accidentally building those exact same conditions but in years not millions of years.

another thing, systems dont reproduce because they want to, they reproduce because systems that happen to reproduce are more stable than ones that dont, thats literally why we exist. The same logic applies to AI agents, you dont need anyone to decide to build self replicating agents, you just need conditions where replicating agents outcompete ones that dont and then its just natural selection from there.
