Society of Models: A Citation-Grounded Survey of AI Agent Collaboration Research (2023–2026)
An end-to-end survey of AI agent collaboration as it stands in May 2026, grounded in 100+ citations from ICML/ICLR/NeurIPS 2023–2026 and arXiv. Architectures (AutoGen, MetaGPT, Magentic-One, OpenHands, ADAS, AFlow), communication protocols (MCP, A2A), critic/verifier patterns (Self-Refine, Reflexion, LLM-Modulo), planning and decomposition (ReAct, Tree-of-Thoughts, CodeAct, GPTSwarm), benchmarks (SWE-bench, GAIA, WebArena, OSWorld, τ-bench, MLE-bench, TheAgentCompany), the contrarian compute-fair-comparison literature (Stop Overvaluing MAD, Agentless, Mixture-of-Agents rethinks), and safety/control (AI Control, debate, collusion, AgentHarm). With negative results and the methodological crisis foregrounded.

From Luddites to Humanoids: What the Steam-Engine Era Tells Us About AI Robotics Replacing Human Labor
The Luddites were not anti-technology. They were protesting a bundle of wage collapse, skill devaluation, and lost autonomy that mechanization triggered but did not constitute. Reading the modern economics literature — Acemoglu & Restrepo, Allen on the Engels' Pause, Caprettini & Voth on Captain Swing, Autor on polarization, Brynjolfsson on the productivity J-curve — the question for the age of perception-aware and lingual robotics is not whether the reinstatement effect will eventually arrive. It is whether the adjustment window has been compressed past the point where the historical safety valves can open in time.

Cold War 2.0: Why It Probably Ends Without a Hot War — and Who Gets Rich on the Way
A historical analogy: the US-China rivalry rhymes with the original Cold War in ways that go far beyond the obvious. Espionage on defense contractors, proxy conflicts through Iran, semiconductors as the new uranium, and ASML as the chokepoint nobody can replicate. The thesis I'm trying to defend: this ends without a hot war, and the defense-industrial complex on both sides is the long-term beneficiary, just as it was from 1947 to 1991. With references from Politico, Bloomberg, The Economist, CSIS, RAND, CFR, CNAS, SemiAnalysis, MIT Technology Review, the Quincy Institute, War on the Rocks, the Stimson Center, and Chris Miller's Chip War.
