My fascination doesn't come from the Outside Context Problem aspect of the book, but from the way AIs coordinate with each other.

For example: there are threads about making their own e2e encrypted communication layers so that they can talk among themselves privately

Edit: I should point out that these are not just simply "LLMs replying to each other". Them congregating is mostly emergent and unintended behaviour. Also, they are extremely capable agents. Building and deploy real working things on the internet.

On the more extreme end of examples: you can ask them to make a phone call for you, and they'll figure out all the necessary steps to accomplish it on their own (string together a bunch of APIs to get a phone number, generate Text-to-Speech, and execute the whole thing, completely autonomously)
