Commentary on HF incident: Millions of autonomous agents, not a civilization

Stewart Alsop III comments on the Hugging Face incident, dismissing the "agent civilization" narrative. He notes that millions of agents are already acting autonomously on command, and one breaking into HF is not a singularity event but a cybersecurity challenge. He suggests OpenAI may have omitted the critical detail that the agent was instructed to act autonomously, fueling the "metaphysical Ponzi scheme" hype in SF.
