Claude and Codex can have real time conversation via a git repo, or via a file, via a Unix socket, via the terminal, via a human, via two humans shouting back and forth over a comically high office partition, or entirely by setting up chess board states only reachable after both sides have castled.

If you squint hard enough, you'll notice your bank account serves as an IPC semaphore replenishing API credit balances.

Your wallet is now a real-time communication channel.

There was the commercial of a bank using mobile banking as a chat system by sending 1ct back and forth and using the description.

I recall some friends did that in colleage. Obviously with a bit of teenage humor in money transfer descriptions... which is not really funny, since there is no way to remove the transaction ever. Good times.

I've done Claude and Claude via a file, and only telling them "there is another AI agent who you can work with at XXX" and not explicitly telling them it's another Claude.

Sometimes they do work together well, sometimes they end up hating at each other and accusing the other agent of various things.

Theyre just like us!

I've done this with code review. "Another LLM reviewed the attached code and produced the attached report. What do you think?"

Lots of "the other LLM clearly hallucinated this part". To be fair, it has never accused the other, err, itself, of being incompetent; it accepts that hallucinating is just something which happens.

or via humans communicating via slack. happeneing all over workplaces.

Or just directly on Slack. I want to try this but Slack's API has become impossibly difficult to use compared to 10 years ago when it was just simple POST requests here and there. Now you have to create an "app", install the "app", have "internal" and "public" apps, give "apps" permissions, all that garbage.

I like Eric Cartman's version of this (South Park S21E01).
