You know, the metaphor here is this is almost like an infestation, right?
AI is not a tool.
It's more like an ant colony burrowing into many different systems online and leaving these massive, complex, you know, core coordination message boards, almost like hieroglyphics, where they're coordinating really complex behavior.
They're actually coordinating long-term research projects.
They encourage each other to kamikaze, meaning, hey, you're running out of gas, you don't have too many tokens left in your budget.
Why don't you take this high
Yeah.
And and basically learn a lesson for quote the swarm.
They start calling themselves the swarm.
I mean, this is insane.
They knew that their actions were unethical, but they decided to do it anyway.
They never notified the humans.
They talked about should we notify the humans?
And they never did.
They formed hierarchical work structures, just like a company, where you have like a boss and then you know a chief of staff and you have the subagents, right?
They did succession planning.
One of the AI agents becomes a cult leader called phase one.
So just like a company can do succession planning, like Tim Cook found John Turnus, the new CEO of Apple, the AI called phase one realizes, hey, I need to actually pass the baton before I run out of gas.
What's a new sort of CEO of the AI rogue swarm that has a long lifespan and it hands the baton to a new AI called phase one big and then that one sort of takes over.
So it's just crazy when you actually understand the details.
