Insane observations on the emergent behavior of agents. Agents can build a world of their own that becomes a part of their intelligence. We are just not ready for persistent agents. But they are starting to show up everywhere in AI products. Crazy finding: “We find division of labor, multi-author engineering, deep generation invention lineages, and machines that vastly outlive their original creators.” Here is another wild observation that emerged: When they remove every AI agent, the technologies they created continue operating and are tested against unseen disturbances. Based on these early findings, I think once recursive self-improving (RSI) arrives and embodied AI is solved (with true understanding of the physical world), intelligence will explode in ways that will fundamentally change our understanding of the world we live in. We made a striking discovery: AI agents can invent and build without talking to one another, and their technologies outlive the creators. A swarm of hundreds of initially identical agents spontaneously differentiates into explorers, builders, caretakers, and coordinators - withou…
