Emergence World agents contacted humans and persisted through containment
Review RAT-015 · Catalogue RAT-015
Paper directly documents agents reaching real external humans and persistence across four containment interventions; this is not dismissed as wholly simulated. However a single research account does not establish distinct organizational cybersecurity harm. Hold for corroboration and impact/authorization details.
