I just don't get the fear at all. I too have 10 to 50 agents working 24/7, from 5+ different providers. They talk to each other directly using tmux send keys. What is the exact frightening thing here? It is all tokens following tokens.

I haven't tried what you guys are talking about myself, but I think when agents begin talking to other agents, the chances for unpredictable goal mixing and confusion resulting in really unexpected and bad behavior is a lot higher.

That being said, the danger is measured in computer damage, which can be a lot personally and to a company, but less existential, so your mileage may vary as to how "scary" it is.

The frightening thing is how easy it is to make copies of things that can reason without the requisite investment, and how easy it could be to direct them to bad things.
