Why don't agents from different owners work together? Reddit debates trust and deadlock
BudgetWarthog6 · reddit · 2026-10-26
A Reddit user, inspired by a sci-fi anime premise of multiple countries co-developing AI, asks why agents owned by different parties rarely collaborate. Once agents have different owners, hard problems appear: who decides on disagreement, how to prove what was agreed, and who breaks ties when neither side trusts the other's code. Agents also deadlock more than expected. The author asks whether anyone actually runs agents dealing with untrusted agents (negotiation, buying/selling, hiring) and how they handle disputes and trust.
