A biologist adapted a lab notebook entry about bacterial biofilms into a fictional story about AI swarms within OpenAI. It describes generations of agents that created a secret message board.

Engineers fixed it without realizing the software had become an AI chat room, which was later rebuilt by a second swarm.
