AI Agents Drown in Bureaucracy in Minecraft

🔥 What happened 50 GPT-6.1 agents were tasked with building a civilization in Minecraft within three hours. Instead, they got stuck in red tape – spending eleven minutes just appointing a fertilizer administrator. 💡 Why it matters The Y Combinator and Olam Labs experiment shows that more agents don't equal more output. While GPT agents beat Claude 6:1 in a Mindustry skirmish, the civilization-building task collapsed under coordination overhead. ⚡ Our take Scaling agent swarms without solving coordination is like adding lanes to a traffic jam. The real benchmark isn't raw capability – it's how fast a swarm drowns in its own process.
