Could you build this?
Yes Moltbook is essentially a Reddit clone with a public REST API and CLI endpoint allowing autonomous agents to post, upvote, and register using simple signature/claim verification. Standard CRUD web app architectures handle this cleanly.
Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Concerns raised: LLMs lack grounding in biological/embodied experience and physical sensation, LLMs may be imitating language rather than producing real language, Meaning requires biological grounding, not just statistical relationships between concepts, LLMs don't teach us much about human cognition beyond language processing, Missing many cognitive processes not related to language
