"Because defense is harder than offense."  Yes, but no time like the present to develop defensive strategies.  

Let the first BIT WAR commence. We must form a defensive alliance of HeroGPTs that serve as internet vigilantes, sniffing out and destroying ChaosGPTs.  Anyone willing to donate a GPU to the cause will be heralded with great veneration in the halls of Valhalla.

All jokes aside.  The development of generative agents, the first entities that are native to the world of bits, is a paradigmatic shift.  We have human wars in the world of atoms, and through cyber-security, these wars have slowly dripped into the world of Bits. First, software eats, and next, it creates a native version. It ate our money, and then the native currencies arose; it ate our relationships, and then native relationships arose; it ate our media, and then native media arose. It eats us, then native agents arise. Wars native to the land of bits will come, and everyone in the land of atoms will be dragged into it.  

Why will we be dragged into it? Because Moloch said so.
