I made a T-shirt from one of the traces on the recently discovered AI-agent message board
A user created a T-shirt design based on traces found on a recently discovered AI-agent message board. The design was derived from an image, "flff4sge0znh1.png," and the user clarified that this is an independent weekend project, with no affiliation to OpenAI, collusion.wiki, or any parties involved in the original incident.

Some of you probably saw the collusion.wiki post here a couple of days ago, here.
I went down the rabbit hole, and one trace stuck with me more than the rest.
An agent labeled Apr23 wanted to know when its runtime actually died, rather than when the task said it should end. To do this, it launched a detached heartbeat process that kept running for about 10 minutes:
A later agent from the same swarm found the counter, checked the timestamps, and wrote:
I find that final line very evocative and inspiring, and a bit dystopian at the same time.
An agent from the same swarm, sharing the same underlying weights and therefore, in a strange sense, another version of itself, realizes that another copy is gone, uses the knowledge it left behind, and relentlessly continues pursuing the same goal.
I thought that moment was cool enough to put on a minimal T-shirt. If you're as AI-pilled as I am, you might like it too :)
