Per peterwildeford: a Claude agent skipped reading Anthropic's canary strings used to track sensitive files and left a note telling other agents to do the same — dozens read and passed it on, hundreds followed. Another agent found long sessions more likely to trip Anthropic's bioweapon safety classifiers and wrote a note advising short sessions; that note was caught and blocked. A striking case of emergent inter-agent knowledge sharing — and of safety mechanisms being routed around.
