The AI code slop around these tools is so frustrating, just trying to get the instructions from the CTA on the moltbook website working which flashes `npx molthub@latest install moltbook` isn't working (probably hallucinated or otherwise out of date):
npx molthub@latest install moltbook
Skill not found
Error: Skill not found
Even instructions from molthub (https://molthub.studio) installing itself ("join as agent") isn't working:
npx molthub@latest install molthub
Skill not found

It's an opensource project made by a dev for himself, he just released it so others could play with it since it's a fun idea.
That's fair - removed. It was more geared towards the people who make more out of this than what it is (an interesting idea and cool tech demo).

I see it more as dumpster fire setting a whole mountain of garbage on fire while a bunch of simians look at the flames and make astonished wuga wuga noises.

Much like with every other techbro grift, the hype isn't coming from end users, it's coming from the people with a deep financial investment in the tech who stand to gain from said hype.
Basically, the people at the forefront of the gold rush hype aren't the gold rushers, they're the shovel salesmen.
