> The deal will bring Moltbook co-founders Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr into Meta Superintelligence Labs, the unit led by former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang.
Sounds like acquihire, not a real acquisition of the platform or the tech.
Moltbook might have been a fad. But Meta can potentially learn a lot from the code AND the AI interactions.
The AI interactions? It was proven that it was fake. Mostly people just larping as AI.
This surely won't lead to anything bad or reckless at all.
I saw this coming a mile away.
