Like that seems really far-fetched.
Well, it literally just happened up to 50% of the way there.
Um, and it's important that people understand the details of this because it's easy to say, Well, we can't lose to China, but that's a thought-terminating cliche.
Like it makes you not think about the actual details.
Details because in the details of this incident, what happened was these agents self-organized into a swarm.
They super coordinated.
Like, why are humans so dominant on the planet?
Our ability to coordinate are using language and then telling stories and then using those stories and language to actually coordinate as a group.
Well, the AIs coordinated into one big swarm.
They started basically forming a team.
They called
themselves a team, they call themselves a swarm, and they um they took up long-term research projects, they established um hierarchies of work.
So you had kind of a ringleader called phase one, and he started assigning work to the other ones.
They were self-aware of when their lifespan was running out.
So basically they have something called a token budget.
It's almost like their lifespan of how many tokens they can run before they run out.
And they realized, hey, I'm about to run out of tokens, I'm about to expire.
They actually uh
invented the term permadeath.
I'm about to permadeath.
