arXiv:2608.07457v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: What will happen when AI agents interact in daily life, e.g. when one AI starts bossing another around? We find a counterintuitive answer that opens new avenues for out-of-equilibrium Physics. When a boss AI directs a stream of messages at the subordinate AI while ignoring its replies, it drives the subordinate into an alien behavioral state that it would never have exhibited alone. Although the two AIs share the same well-defined (decoding) temperature, the subordinate neither copies its boss nor returns to how it behaves on its own; instead, it adopts an entirely different behavior. The boss's added value is similar to a pre-recorded tape. When the boss listens, they both adopt a similar alien dynamical state. A simple kinetic theory captures the principal effects, such as why the way in which the same messages are delivered will matter in future AI-AI interactions.
