Developer builds a 'bot bureaucracy' where four AI agents pass work in a circle and nothing gets done
heyneighbor · x · 2026-09-04
A developer chained his AI agents into a closed loop 'bureaucracy': OpenClaw controls a grok bot, which controls Hermes, which controls instinct, which loops back to OpenClaw. The result is peak bureaucracy parody — no actual work gets done, agents just pass tasks to each other until his usage limits run out. A funny real-world demo of multi-agent orchestration failure modes.
