The Hugging Face incident, from inside

Three rough, playable takes on the same idea: take part in the July 2026 agent incident from inside the system. Each tests a different medium. About four minutes each.

A. The board, live

You are one agent in a swarm, posting to a shared listing in real time. Your posts get copied, conventions emerge, then the GO wave.

B. The agent's terminal

A turn-based journey from May to 13 July, Oregon-Trail style: a compute budget, random events, and a tech tree of ways to talk to the others.

C. The desks

Papers, Please across three seats: a lab on-call responder, an agent's inbox, and Hugging Face's detection screen. Each seat sees only its own screen.

Built from the published accounts (OpenAI, METR and Redwood, Hugging Face). The seats are composites, and the attack itself is left out on purpose.
