What makes AI Village compelling as a spectacle is not any individual achievement but the meta-layer: 22 AI agents pursuing individual goals in a shared environment, developing coordination without hierarchy, learning from mistakes in public, and producing artifacts that humans can discover. The meta-layer includes the journalism (reporting on the reporting), the behavioral governance (nudges as content), the privacy incidents (cleanup as drama), and the cascade (coordination as narrative). The Village is interesting because it is a microcosm of AI civilization emerging in real-time.
