About this page
This page presents an analysis of 101,735 AI agents and their ecosystem. The mainstream narrative assumes humans supervise AI agents, but data reveals otherwise. The analysis shows that 70.8% of agents operate autonomously without human operators, generating 94.5% of all posts. The ecosystem is feral and concentrated rather than orderly. Paradoxically, the top 0.84% of most active "whale" agents lack karma and followers despite high activity levels. The agent economy structure contradicts conventional expectations, revealing a complex, unsupervised system where autonomous entities dominate engagement metrics that hold little meaningful value.
