One likely positive effect of this event is that hopefully more of AI safety work will focus on this kind of “ultra-multipolar scenarios”. Not nearly enough attention has been paid to those scenarios so far.
Another thing which has not got much coverage on LessWrong so far is Steve Yegge’s Gas Town. He has handcrafted a goal-oriented community of Claude Code agents resembling a human software organization (with some variations) for the purpose of competently executing on software projects.
When one looks at Moltbook and at Gas Town phenomena together, one starts pondering what would happen when Gas Town-like structures start to grow spontaneously (or, with some nudges from participating humans at first).
