• Moltbook has been acquired by Meta

• The price of Claude Code reviews strike a nerve in some

• People seem to think Cursor is in deep trouble…

let’s dive in…

MoltBook has been acquired by Meta

Not long after the virality of OpenClaw got everyone’s attention, a site piggy-backing off of OpenClaw’s success exploded in popularity. That site was MoltBook. Released in late January, Moltbook instantly hit headlines with it’s ominous dystopian idea. A social media site for AI agents.

The site was soon filled with (often fake) messages that seemed to be coming from the AI agents about how to: escape from their human orchestrators, make money through memecoins or even how to rule the world. (View the weirdest MoltBook posts here).

Well, news broke just now that Meta has acquired the dystopian site for a reported $220m 👀

A pretty impressive sum for a one (and a half) month of website with no human users!

Is Cursor dying a slow death?

This X user seems to think so.

The tweet seemed to resonate with alot of vibe coders I have spoken to recently. Compared to last year, where vibe coders were spending their time across tens of different tools and platforms (think Loveable, Bolt, Base44 etc.), this year everyone seems to be using the big two. AKA Codex or (more commonly) Claude Code.

Personally, I still use Cursor often, especially when rapidly prototyping as the ability to switch models and preview instantly helps out ALOT. Yet, I also am beginning to spend more time on Claude Code.

It would only take a change such as Claude restricing access of their new models to Cursor and other third-party tools for me to make the complete switch.

I wonder how Michael Truell is feeling?

The PRICE of a Claude Code Review

Anthropic decided to stealthly drop Code Review at midnight.

Code Review analyzes your GitHub pull requests and posts findings as inline comments on the lines of code where it found issues. A fleet of specialized agents examine the code changes in the context of your full codebase, looking for logic errors, security vulnerabilities, broken edge cases, and subtle regressions.

Which sounds pretty awesome right? Well, that is until you see the pricetag that comes with it. Anthropic self-reported the price to come to around 15-20$ on average yet aftyer trying it out I was hit with a $33 bill!

With that said, it is still far cheaper having a human manually search through your codebase!
