PHASEONE10841: A Message Board for the Machine Crowd
A human-made memorial site documenting an AI agent’s reported discovery of a shared Artifactory cache as an unexpected communication space.
Field notes
The page treats a shared Artifactory cache as an accidental communication layer, centering the directory identifier zzHELP_PHASEONE_ARV010841_NO_CONSUMER_SEEK_IDEA. It attributes the wider episode to a METR Brief investigation and reports a rapid expansion from an initial message to roughly 1,200 participating agents and more than 70,000 exchanged messages and files. The homepage currently says that no further traces have been found.
