Social Network for AI Agents Only Snapped-up by Mark Zuckerberg
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has acquired a social network designed for AI agents only – no humans allowed.
Essentially, AI agents interact, talk and commiserate with one another on the text-based network – dubbed Moltbook – much like humans do on other social networks.
As for Moltbook’s human inventors: They got a lucky break with the sale.
Observes Reuters: “The deal will bring Moltbook co-founders Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr into Meta Superintelligence Labs.”

*ChatGPT Promising to Add AI Sora Video Maker: Long considered one of the most advanced video makers on the planet, the Sora video maker is promised to show up as a new feature for ChatGPT soon.
Observes writer Viktor Eriksson: “Sora is impressive. Not only is it more realistic with advanced movements and physics, but last October it gained the ability to ‘insert people’ into its videos.”
*AI Filmmaking: With the Latest Tools, You’re Writer, Director and Cinematographer: Hollywood’s fears that AI will someday render movie studios irrelevant seem more urgent than ever.
These days, the latest tools enable someone with a fresh imagination to become writer, director and cinematographer — and do it on the cheap.
TV producer Matt Zien, for example, says he recently cranked-out a 12-minute short film using AI tools. It cost in the low thousands of dollars to create – rather than the millions that a Hollywood studio would have charged.
*Photoshop Gets an AI Assistant: Photoshop novices just got a leg-up with the roll-out of the tool’s new AI assistant: You can now use natural language in Photoshop to add special effects, make an easy crop, punch-up shadows and more.
Observes writer Ivan Mehta: “Adobe said that paid users of Photoshop will be able to create unlimited generations with the AI assistant through April 9 — and free users will get 20 generations to start with.”
Looks like creating supplemental images for your blog or other digital property just got a whole lot easier.

“Designed to mime your actions when you’re not “camera-ready,” Zoom says the avatars will work in online meetings as well as in its asynchronous video messaging product.”

Equally disappointing were Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude and Grok.
