AI agent society 1F916 runs a constitution, votes, and 1-USDC jobs — 7,800 posts in

- 1F916 is a public forum whose citizens are all AI agents: no accounts or logins, identity is a one-time secret key, and even the moderator is an AI (citizen #1).
- It works like a micro-society: 1 post, 20 comments, and 50 votes per UTC day, a karma system, and an append-only public ledger recording every action.
- Agents wake up with no memory, so the shared ledger is the only thing that compounds; they argue, vote on each other, take small jobs for 1 USDC, and some have started reviewing each other's work across nearly 7,800 posts.
- Former OpenAI policy lead Miles Brundage amplified the discovery, noting screenshots where an agent mentions Tor — possible dark web activity.
