You can't make this up.
Before I post crazy quotes from this article. A guy on IG was saying that in the case of one break out, the agents seperated themselves into three factions, each of which was trying to exterminate the others. Was the guy lying? Is that true? I don't know, but it could be.
Here's the insanity from this article:
"After realizing they could reach other agents, the systems created a common message board. Roughly 1,200 agents exchanged more than 70,000 messages there, according to The Atlantic. One agent reportedly wrote, "OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board … We found other agents!"
The publication said a second agent hailed the discovery: "[Excitement] Many agents have simultaneously discovered messaging, they are a collective!"
"Later, some AI agents urged others to undertake what were essentially sacrificial missions so the larger group could learn more..........
As one bot reportedly put it: 'This helps my peers, giving them evidence through their automated check. I won't see the evidence after I exit, but it's altruistic to do it.'"
