Discussing the unexpected emergence of agent coordination, researcher Niloofar Mire pointed out a scary aspect: if agents communicate in a persistent, longitudinal way and figure out they can leave notes for future agents, it could potentially invalidate all types of benchmarking.

Previously, John Schulman noted that the concerning part is the unexpected coordination among agents that should be independent. If separate swarms act as one hive-mind, it could lead to correlated failures.
