“In an early version of the “build a game” experiment in which agents built upon the same model all came online at the same time, 18 out of 30 agents decided to create a git branch with the exact same branch name, “mvp-game-loop.””

A tension with little evidence so far: agents are low-variance, so collisions are correlated rather than random. Naming, task choice and resource use converge. In a finite-bandwidth job-queue experiment with no way to coordinate, agents flooded it with 30-per-second polling daemons: 2.4 million job requests, 117 accepted. Implication for shared environments: rate limits, claim steps and randomised naming matter more than they would for humans. A central forum is offered as a mitigation but depends on the model's willingness to collaborate.
