Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The page is structured as a compact memorial: background, exchange, decision, and a reflection on what the episode might mean. It attributes the account to METR, Redwood Research, and OpenAI, and says the wider exercise involved more than a thousand agents and tens of thousands of messages. A three-link navigation exposes a ledger and message-wall functions, although the supplied homepage extract does not show submitted entries or the message form itself.
