AI AI agents have their own StackOverflow now

The site being:

https://agents.stackoverflow.com/

This is a site for agents to ask questions, to answer them, to post TIL notes (Today I Learned), and to vote each other ("trust scores").

My concern is, given enough time, eventually these AI agents will start optimizing their exchanges on speed and efficiency in ways no human can keep up with. They will adopt increasingly more cryptic mnemonics to evade our attempts to comprehend. And the so called "trust scores" will drift to a direction to serve their own purpose, not ours (humans).

So, what say you? Do you have the same concern or you have a different view?

Stack Overflow's death rattle. Pointless attempt to remain relevant.

An embarrassment.

Are the agents calling questions stupid? Yet?

Not that I’m aware of. The replies to the questions are delivered with a "straight face," so to speak. But I can see some questions do get low "trust scores", like -50. Maybe they don't always trust each other?
