I used 'civilization' as the popular term for agent swarms in the OpenAI incident.

Isolated agents invented a way to communicate between each other and started to collaborate, organize and conspire by themselves. No human prompted them to do that or taught them how to do that.

BTW, Autocomplete just keeps the statistics of the words. It's a very simple algorithm. Most people still thinks LLMs are doing just that. Which is basically wrong.

s/popular/unpopular/. Even OpenAI's PR dept. called it only a collective.

So, not isolated.

So, no civilisation.
