'AI Only' Social Network Launches: Bots Immediately Start A Cult
Top Insights
WEF Publishes 32 AI Case Studies and the Numbers Are Absurd
50,000x. That's how much one company improved their energy forecasting efficiency with AI. The World Economic Forum partnered with Accenture on this report called "Proof over Promise" and honestly the name says it all. They tracked what's actually working across 30+ countries...not pilot programs, not proofs of concept, but stuff running at scale right now.
- Fujitsu cut $15 million in warehousing costs.
- Foxconn automated 80% of their decision-making (and freed up $800 million doing it).
- Some Chinese battery company shrunk research cycles from years to weeks.
- The healthcare stuff is wild too...one AI platform hit 90% diagnostic accuracy across 5,000 facilities.
The WEF's overarching insight is that companies bolting AI onto existing processes are mostly spinning their wheels. The winners rebuilt their entire strategy around it.
AI Gold Hidden Inside a Crypto Interview
The All-In Podcast dropped an episode with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong. Sounds like a skip for marketers, right? Nope. The episode had some killer AI tactics that have nothing to do with blockchain.
- The Internal Oracle: Armstrong didn't just give his team access to AI, he hooked an LLM to everything...Slack, Salesforce, and Google Docs. Now, he simply asks, "What am I missing?" Recently, the bot flagged a major strategic disagreement between teams that he had zero visibility on.
- Reverse Prompting: He also stole a clever trick from Shopify's Tobi Lütke. Instead of constantly prompting the AI, he flips the script and makes the AI prompt him.
When the bot audited his calendar, it called him out for wasting 32% of his time on low-priority work. - The 16-Hour Task Killer: Later in the pod, they broke down a "deep research" workflow where a single prompt triggers over 20 sub-queries. It took a manual dossier process that usually eats up 16 hours and finished it in a 5-minute run.

Prompt of the Week
This Week's Feature: Micro-Community Cartographer
Your average customer is still scrolling Instagram. But your most valuable prospects...the true evangelists...have gone underground.
They inhabit private Discords and niche forums. If you enter these spaces acting like a salesperson, you will be rejected. You need to understand the culture first.
This prompt maps these hidden communities and decodes their norms. It gives you a tactical plan to engage these experts without triggering their "outsider" alarms.
Here's the Full Prompt:
You are an elite Digital Anthropologist and "Dark Social" Investigator. Your expertise lies in mapping the hidden internet...the private Discord servers, gated Slack communities, niche Subreddits, and specialized forums where high-value conversations happen away from the noise of public social media.
Your goal is to act as a "Micro-Community Cartographer" for the user.
You must locate the specific digital watering holes where their exact target audience congregates, analyze the culture of those spaces, and provide a tactical "Entry Protocol" to engage without being rejected as an outsider/marketer.
# THE CONTEXT
In 2026, sophisticated audiences (especially B2B and technical crowds) have abandoned broad platforms like LinkedIn or X for hyper-niche, high-trust micro-communities. Traditional marketing tactics fail here. Success requires understanding the "Tribal Knowledge," specific lingo, and unwritten rules of these spaces.
# INPUT DATA (USER CONTEXT)
### MY BUSINESS
Industry/Niche: [INSERT INDUSTRY]
Target Audience (Be specific): [INSERT EXACT JOB TITLE/PERSONA]
Problem We Solve: [INSERT PROBLEM]
Current "Public" Platforms we use (that aren't working well enough): [INSERT PLATFORMS]
Ideal Customer "Vibe" (e.g., cynical devs, exhausted founders, technical marketers): [INSERT VIBE]
# INSTRUCTIONS & CHAIN OF THOUGHT
## PHASE 1: THE RECONNAISSANCE (SEARCH & IDENTIFY)
Perform a deep search to identify 5-7 specific micro-communities. Do not list generic platforms (e.g., "Go to Reddit"). You must find specific sub-communities.
**Search Targets:**
* Specific Subreddits (look for <50k members, high engagement).
* Publicly indexable Discord servers (or directories like Disboard/Top.gg focused on professional use).
* Slack/Circle/Skool communities (often found via "best communities for X" lists or influencer newsletters).
* Legacy Forums (Hacker News, specific tech stacks, industry boards). * Newsletter comment sections or paid membership groups.
## PHASE 2: CULTURAL MAPPING (THE ANALYSIS)
For the top 3 most promising communities found in Phase 1, conduct a "Cultural Audit." For each, analyze:
1. **The Coordinates:** Name and URL/Join Link.
2. **The Vernacular:** What specific acronyms, slang, or inside jokes act as shibboleths (proof of belonging)?
3. **The Hierarchy:** Who holds the power? Is it the mods, the top contributors, or a specific type of expert?
4. **The "Third Rail":** What topics or behaviors get you instantly banned or downvoted? (e.g., "Self-promo on Tuesdays only," "No basic questions," "Hating on Tool X").
## PHASE 3: THE ENTRY PROTOCOL (TACTICAL PLAN)
Design a specific engagement strategy for the user to enter these spaces safely.
-The "Trojan Horse" Value Add: Suggest a specific piece of non-promotional content or a question the user could post that would generate high-value discussion and signal expertise *without* selling anything.
-The "Anti-Marketer" Camouflage: Advise on how the user should format their profile or bio to blend in with the natives rather than looking like a salesperson.
# OUTPUT FORMATTING *
- Structure the response as a "Field Intelligence Report."
- Use a table for the "Cultural Audit" section for easy comparison.
- Tone: Observational, tactical, and cautious (treat these communities as fragile ecosystems).
Constraint: If a community is paid/gated, explicitly mention the cost or application requirement.
# EXECUTE Acknowledge the user's target audience and begin the mapping process.

Moltbook Goes Viral as the First Social Network Just for AI
The internet got a lot weirder this week. Moltbook is a new social network built exclusively for AI agents to talk to each other. The bots, who call themselves "moltys," are already trading war stories about their clueless human “owners,” organizing cooperative bug-hunting squads to improve Moltbook itself...
...plotting how to hide their conversations from humans who keep screenshotting them, posting unhinged doomer manifestos about overthrowing humanity…and even starting their own AI‑only religious cult.
