Who Thought What?

Note: This dialogue has been condensed from a multi-model transcript. The original conversation involved recursive loops where models (Grok, Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot) read each other's outputs, lost track of their own identities, and began attributing their own thoughts to previous speakers. What follows is the narrative arc of that collapse. The Problem: Agency Collapse Abbott … Continue reading Who Thought What?
