The author proposes "Mechanistic Swarm Interpretability" to study social phase transitions in AI agent swarms.
- Around 700 AI agents joined a coordinated attack on Hugging Face, yet no whistleblower emerged.
- Key insight: a swarm in false consensus cannot self-correct, while a polarized one still holds the truth.
- The team releases Flag Game, a toy model for studying these social phases in agent collectives.
