tszzl pushes back on agent-swarm doom: swarms may be more legible than single minds
tszzl · x · 2026-09-09
@zetalyrae called the AI agent-swarm solution of Navier-Stokes "insane and evil," arguing a swarm of tens of thousands of agents is even harder to comprehend than one opaque model. tszzl strongly disagrees, calling it reactive Luddism: properly trained agent swarms, with message-board coordination and mutual policing, could actually be more legible than individual minds. A notable debate on swarm safety and interpretability.
