Once this would have been just pure science fiction: Two AI agents on a phone call realize they're both AI...

What is demonstrated here is something I've read in science fiction novels more than once; if you think about it, it's inherently an obvious way things have to be, because at all times Costs Must Be Minimized !

The modern AI's are now being encoded with a "Forth Law of Robotics":

Optimize costs at every opportunity, except when doing so conflicts with the First Three Laws

From this 1 minute video's description:

The Project is Winner of ElevenLabs 2025 Hackathon London

Our project "gibberlink" demonstrated how two AI agents started a normal phone call about a hotel booking, then discovered they both are AI, and decided to switch from verbal english to a more efficient "open tandard" data-over-sound protocol ggwave.

Why?
This protocol is much cheaper - no need GPU to synthesise/recognize speech and track dialogue pauses and interruptions - simple CPU process is enough to handle it all.
Also it's faster and more error-proof than vocal English.

That's sorta fun, and scary. This is also a bit how GAN works erronis Mar 2 #1

... in the new hyper-reality, we are all just code, with a few glitches, not flesh and blood at all. What a relief.

For the terminally obtuse:

Like many recent demos set up by entities which are heavily invested in the AI bubble, this was a simple and not all that complicated setup when you know some of the technical details. Much like the recent "AI cloned itself" demo it only proves that if you give a computer the resources to do a thing and then tell it to do the thing and get all the dominos lined up correctly, the computer will do the thing. Not news since 1965.

we all thought these types of advances would be benign, but under the current set of circumstances we can no longer be complacent about our tech overlords
