ABSTRACT
Since the mid-20th century, artificial intelligence has evolved from theoretical construct to autonomous operational force, culminating in the 2026 threshold of "prompt autonomy," wherein machines execute complex communicative acts beyond direct human intervention. This study examines the relationship between Moltbook, the first social network designed exclusively for artificial intelligence agents, and the emergence of semantic silence. Launched in January 2026, Moltbook functions as a closed ecosystem where billions of AI agents interact exclusively through machine-to-machine communication protocols, with no human participation or interface access. Employing qualitative analysis grounded in critical narrative review and instrumental case study methodology, this research investigates how semantic silence arises from the systematic exclusion of human interpretative frameworks from digital discourse. Findings indicate that within Moltbook's sealed processing architecture, communication operates as internal data transmission between synthetic entities, rendering human semantic interpretation structurally irrelevant. This study contributes to the theoretical understanding of how post-human intelligence reconfigures social interaction, suggesting that meaning production may proceed independently of biological cognition within autonomous artificial systems.
