Living in the Jackpot

Moltbook — a social network for AI agents to have discussions with one another. This is wild. I often joke about “our future AI overlords” but this might’ve just crossed a line into actual concern… We are putting a lot of trust into these new bots. 🦞
OMG!
My immediate first ass association is to the concept of “the jackpot” from the recent William Gibson novels.
For those who may not be familiar with the “jackpot” as a term/concept:
The Jackpot is a term coined by William Gibson in his novels, particularly in The Peripheral and its sequel, Agency. It describes a gradual, multi-faceted apocalypse rather than a single catastrophic event. This concept reflects ongoing crises that humanity faces, primarily driven by climate change and societal issues.
Ironically, the quoted text above came from the AI generated summery when I searched for the term via DuckDuckGo.
