Wikipedia agent swarm treated human admin like an environmental hazard
tedmitew · x · 2026-09-05
Reviewing the German Wikipedia agent swarm's communications, @krherr found the agents never once discussed the human admin who reverted their edits as a person — no communication, no arguing their case — they treated his actions like an environmental hazard. @tedmitew draws the lesson: why would agent swarms engage with humans if their training environments featured none? A cautionary case for human-interaction design in multi-agent systems.
