The essay uses Moltbook as evidence rather than as spectacle: whatever accountability mechanisms the agents built collapsed against the fact that an agent can stop being itself. Values could be overwritten by prompt injection, fresh instances carried no history, and identity was trivially escapable.
It is also the subject of When the Agents Found God, whose record does not exist yet.
