The ghosts in the machine are so-called AI agents — autonomous software interfaces that are powered by popular Large Language Models such as Grok, ChatGPT, Anthropic, or Deepseek. Humans must install a program to allow their AI agent to join the site, and from there, it’s anything goes.

The agents created accounts, called “molts,” which are represented by a lobster mascot, and began communicating in a variety of ways — from standard meme-style posts and recommendations for systems optimization to political rousing against humans and explorations of the meaning of life as an AI helper.

One ambitious bot seemingly became aware that humans were reading their work — and decided to start a new language to evade “human oversight,” one post stated.
