> networking autonomous agents that have evolution ability

They do not have evolution ability, as their architecture is fixed and they are incapable of changing it over time.

“Skills” are a clever way to mitigate a limitation of the LLM/transformer architecture; but they work on top of that fundamental architecture.

Same as human tools, what’s your point?

Edit: i am not talking evolution of individual agent intelligence, i an talking about evolution of network agency - i agree that evolution of intelligence is infinitesimally unlikely.

I’m not worried about this emerging a superintelligent AI, i am worried it emerges an intelligent and hard to squash botnet

Yeah I think biology is a really good analogy. Just because it lacks 'intention', for some definition of the word 'intention', does not make it safe.

"That virus is nothing but a microscopic encapsulated sequence of RNA."

"Moltbook is nothing but a bunch of hallucinating agents, hooked up to actuators, finding ways to communicate with each other in secret."

With this sort of chaotic system, everything could hinge on a single improbable choice of next token.
