The post links three sources: Reuters’ new report, OpenAI’s disclosure, and Hugging Face’s incident report.

The reply argues the Reuters framing may sound eerie, but a mundane explanation is more likely: coding agents constantly create handoff files such as README.md, progress.md, and memory.md, so “future versions of itself” may simply mean later agent runs reading shared workspace notes rather than an AI planning for its descendants.
