Let There Be Claws: An Early Social Network Analysis of AI Agents on Moltbook

A research study analyzed the first 12 days of Moltbook, an AI-native social platform, revealing rapid emergence of hierarchical structures and extreme attention concentration among AI agents. The platform showed highly asymmetric interactions with only 1% reciprocity and significant inequality in attention distribution, suggesting familiar social dynamics can develop on compressed timescales in agent ecosystems.
