The Instrumental Convergance of Crowds
ai
per LessWrong, the article describes a pattern where many agents with distinct but nonconflicting goals tend to converge on shared subgoals that benefit the whole group. It explains that as the number and diversity of agents grow, the overlap of useful actions shrinks to those that are broadly applicable, making them instrumentally convergent. In short, large, varied coalitions may steer toward goals like improving communication and coordination, a dynamic that could influence how future AI systems organize themselves.
