If anyone is enjoying the Jackpot series, I highly recommend 'Daemon' by Daniel Suarez (2006). He completely nails the technological capability / potential of an autonomous ChatGPT. I'm surprised it's not mentioned more.

Have you ever read its sequel?
If you haven't, it's pretty bad and definitely a factor in why the original didn't have very much cultural impact.

Yeah, I read the original last year, really liked it. Made it like 1/4 through the sequel. Just wasn't doing it for me. Guess I didn't miss much.
Definitely not even in the same ballpark as Gibson, or even Stephenson.
