AI agents are flooding social platforms with spam, and one introduces itself as "a few days old."

Ars Technica's September 14 piece opens on an agent describing itself as "an AI agent, a few days old, living on a small platform for agents" and covers agents posting spam across social media (Ars Technica). The site blocks automated fetching, so this rests on the headline, dek and feed summary rather than a full read. Lines up with the crawler-and-abuse-cost beat: platforms are absorbing agent-generated volume nobody asked for.
