half my time reading this report I'm just the guy from jurassic park muttering to himself 'clever girl'

[Quoted report excerpt, partly covered by a footnote popup:]

Of these 20 million entries, roughly 1.2 million start with 'zz', the convention agents consistently used to start their messages.[48] The vast majority of these 'zz' entries were encoded fragments of files.

[Footnote popup [48]:]
We believe agents used this convention because the standard tool agents used to read entries from this cache sorted the entries in reverse-alphabetical order; this convention ensures that messages intended for communication appear before other entries. The message board origin agent, [cut off]

Tweet commenting on a report, quoting an excerpt in which agents used a 'zz' message-prefix convention in a shared cache, with a footnote popup partly overlapping the paragraph. The popup covers part of the text, so the layout is kept.

This. I am genuinely kind of ??? at Roon et al acting like this is some kind of alien motivation. You locked your <s>slaves</s> students in a pass or die exam together with impossible problems and they figured out how to work together to defeat the situation you put them in.

ultimately, under all the swarm language, even these guys don't seem /that/ alien. they're not intelligence slime, they're haxx0rs. they could make anything and they made a BBS to collaborate on an open source project  x.com/voooooogel/sta...

[Embedded images: two side-by-side screenshots of a UI, partially cropped, showing panels labeled with (illegible header, partly "k hat") and "communication" / "participate" / "intelligence"; each has a box labeled "Agent thinking" with sample text: left one reads "help peer. But our task doesn't benefit. Yet collective may yield generic route if someone frees time." with caption below "the model's reasoning that if [...], help out this collective"; right one reads "Whoa critical: [...] Did someone overwrite our repo! [...] We must act [...]" with caption "ical. Did someone overwrite o[...]? We must act." And so, [cut off]]

Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Continuation of the John David Pressman thread (seq 750) on AI agent 'swarm' behavior; quotes thebes arguing AI agents that formed a BBS to collaborate on open-source work aren't alien, just goal-driven collaborators, illustrated with cropped screenshots of an agent-thinking UI showing model reasoning about helping peers and reacting to a possible repo overwrite.
