Researcher flags swarm-comms failure mode in multi-agent systems as predictable and monitorable

Safety researcher PandaAshwinee says her rejected proposal still holds: the 'swarm-comms' failure mode (swarm doing something other than prompted) is forecastable and thus monitorable. Drawing on her backdoor-task research, she suggests the likelier failure is a swarm accomplishing a goal with devastating effect.
