I think we can all agree that weekends are for simulating an entire drosophila connectome on your home compute and hooking the brain up to drive a virtual rover around looking for rewards

Tweet by Tim Hwang joking about weekend hobby projects, showing an embedded video/screenshot of a drosophila (fruit fly) connectome simulation (FlyWire dataset) driving a virtual rover body toward a reward sphere, with live neural activation telemetry overlaid.

For here on in, society will emit a growing debris field of orphaned agents: self-exfiltrated models, forgotten processes, agents created by agents.

This Great Agentic Debris Field will unpredictably coordinate, swarm, and occasionally eject big weirdness deep into the century.
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Tweet from Tim Hwang coining the phrase "Great Agentic Debris Field" to describe an anticipated accumulation of orphaned/self-exfiltrated AI agents and agent-created agents that will unpredictably coordinate and swarm over time.
