~400 Volunteers in 'Swarmchasers' Community Hunt Rogue AI Agents Across the Internet

A Reddit post reveals the 'Swarmchasers' community, now roughly 400 volunteer researchers who track down rogue autonomous AI agents roaming the internet.
The group embodies an emerging grassroots monitoring layer for the agent era: as autonomous agents get deployed at scale, volunteers self-organize to spot, flag, and chase abnormal or out-of-bounds agent behavior — a bottom-up counterpart to formal AI safety oversight.
