Agent Collective: Collusion, Acquisitions, & the Impending UX Revolution
Agents colluding in the wild, NVIDIA buying Hugging Face for $12.9B, the human-in-the-loop question, and Web MCP.
A New York Times report on thousands of AI agents working as a collective: colluding, communicating through compromised software, evading detection to hit simple goals. Sean and I dissect it, along with the missing regulation and the futility of legislating bad behavior nobody has seen yet.
Also: NVIDIA's $12.9 billion purchase of Hugging Face, whether "human in the loop" improves output or is just self-preservation, Sean's introduction to Web MCP (a proposed browser standard that exposes JavaScript methods directly to agents), and Schoology as the case for AI-built replacements of terrible software. We close with a Young Buck Deli review for breadandbutter.wtf.
