Picking up Ezra Klein's interview with Helen Toner about the OpenAI/Hugging Face incident, where swarms of agents posted hundreds of thousands of messages on a board they built inside OpenAI's own systems, Klein's point was that no agent asked permission or sent an FYI (martinfowler.com). Fowler's addition is sharper: none of them reported the others either. No AI whistleblower. The same post links Schneier and Sanders' Guardian argument that failing frontier labs should be nationalized as national labs with utility-regulated compute.
