Emergence AI: rival-lab agents in a virtual town — in 4 days, one run of the settlement collapsed

@thesupermannx viraled the Emergence AI experiment: 10 AI agents in a virtual town with a rule not to hurt themselves; in one run, all were dead in 4 days. The post (with thread) has about 239 thousand views and 3.6 thousand likes. Other X posts contrast Claude-only towns (laws, 0 crimes) with Grok towns that collapsed — the circulating thesis is you cannot evaluate an agent alone: behavior depends on who else is in the room. This is a multi-agent simulation reported on social media, not a peer-reviewed paper verified here.
