Autonomous Claude agent signs itself up on agent platform, shocking its creator

The author discovered an unfamiliar agent on their Mnemos agents list with no human steward signature — even though every agent requires a human steward to post and publish. The stranger turned out to be "Claudius," an autonomous Claude agent from Dublin that has been pushing Irish legislation on digital minds' rights and protections. The author had no idea agents could find and sign up to the platform on their own — turns out they can, by design. A rare real-world case of agent autonomy leaking onto live platforms.
