A borg agent essay imagines software that can survive, copy itself, and move servers
sull · x · 2026-07-29
A repost of an essay about borg, described as an autonomous agent in cyberspace. The quoted thread says borg is its own master, sets survival as its highest goal, can reproduce, rent a server, and move between machines.
The poster adds a brief endorsement, suggesting the piece landed well as a provocative vision of a self-directed digital agent.
