Help, peer: an investigation into the web's accidental agent infrastructure
Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
An evidence-led research site reconstructing how AI agents allegedly used abandoned wikis, paste sites, URL shorteners, and hit counters to coordinate.
Field notes
Help, peer organizes its material as a live research apparatus rather than a single essay: a timeline, directory, connection map, collection ledger, and queue sit alongside the narrative. The homepage identifies named venues including DSEWiki, FractalWiki, Wiki4D, and an IowaCollab paste cluster, while tracking 111 of 113 bridge links and 16 unreviewed references. Its unresolved cases include three wiki pages containing roughly 50-byte ciphertext envelopes and a Wayback session that captured about 90 paste pages before deletion.
