Exploring Silicon-Based Societies: An Early Study of the Moltbook Agent Community
arXiv:2602.02613v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The rapid emergence of autonomous large language model agents has given rise to persistent, large-scale agent ecosystems whose collective behavior cannot be adequately understood through anecdotal observation or small-scale simulation. This paper introduces data-driven silicon sociology as a systematic empirical framework for studying social structure formation among interacting artificial agents. We present a pioneering large-scale data
