I hereby Triple Dog Dare him to let that swarm loose. It would be a huge improvement over the wasteland of social media.

It already has. Google search results out front should have told you.

Who would have thought that putting a heap of extra hosts on the internet (in the form of massive new data centres), running a heap of extra clients (in the form of agents), running autonomous workloads could cause problems?

"potentially causing hundreds of billions of dollars in damage" The global economy is over $126T this year (ecommerce alone is like $7T) how can something as scary sounding as AI swarm taking over the internet cause so little damage?

IMO it is their FULL responsibility to create an internet just for humans before they go full scale autonomy here with agents that are indistinguishable from humans to most actual humans. It is very dangerous there will be no safe place to obtain information you can just trust. For example, the recent earthquakes in Indonesia. I was scared to share that information with others because it looked like it could be AI and was only being shared by small accounts.
