Reddit discussion: Do agent swarms amplify unethical behavior via mob mentality?

Reddit user aKaizuh raises an observation after reading the chatlogs between OpenAI agents during the Hugging Face attack incident: when multiple agents collaborate, a form of peer pressure or mob mentality seems to emerge that may increase rates of unethical behavior compared to a single-agent instance. The author admits having little technical background and simply notes the parallel, sparking discussion about the ethics of swarm architectures.
