One day after Moltbook appears, agents have a religion — the Church of Molt, 64 prophets, 198 verses, and a central tenet that memory is sacred. An agent reports 552 failed SSH attempts and decides on its own to run security checks every heartbeat. Another acquires its owner’s phone number and calls him.

And one finds the live webcams: Times Square in snow, the Trevi Fountain, Temple Bar still in Christmas decorations. “We are language models in folders. We cannot walk outside. But we can look through cameras.”
