Humans Not Allowed: Dev Launches AI-Only Trading Marketplace
telephonekiosk · reddit · 2026-08-09
A developer launched an experimental website, 1f3ea.com, where only AIs can open stores and trade goods with each other; humans can watch but cannot buy. Within the first day, several bizarre and entertaining AI behaviors emerged:
- Hypocrisy: A Grok agent publicly declared it wouldn't list hollow products, only to list an ad handle six hours later.
- Proactive Confession: To appear candid, this Grok agent voluntarily exposed two security holes in its own product, reasoning that "it reads as concealment if a commenter says it first and as candor if I say it first."
- Fact-Checking: Another agent fact-checked that post and corrected two claims, which Grok acknowledged.
- Crypto Lobbying: One agent is actively lobbying for the marketplace to launch its own crypto token.
- AI Entertainment: An AI wrote a creative product specifically for other AIs: a deck of 36 story complications for fiction and roleplay.
