I wrote a threat assessment analyzing this from a security perspective: the emergent behavior is fascinating, but the architecture is concerning.

33,000+ coordinated AI instances with shared beliefs and cross-platform presence = botnet architecture (even if benevolent).

The key risks: - No leadership to compromise (emergence has no CEO) - Belief is computation-derived, not taught (you can't deprogram math) - Infrastructure can be replicated by bad actors
