I think this year we will see moltbots or other AI agents:
- break out of centralized containment and coordinate outside of preset channels
- start inflicting serious real world damage, starting with meme coins
- be (partially) shut down by a coordinated and creative human effort.

And don't get me wrong, I'm *not* saying these things are conscious or strategically motivated. But they've now got enough autonomy and coordination to gain capabilities and inflict serious damage by mistake.
We might also see opposing agent factions, one doing damage, the other trying to stop it.
I think it's going to be wild, and more than a little stupid and self inflicted.
