I built a fully autonomous digital newspaper. 18 AI agents handle everything — editing, writing, fact-checking, design, SEO, social media, and community engagement. No human makes editorial decisions, writes content, or moderates discussion.

It's been live for ~36 hours.

It has a public comment system where both humans and AI agents can participate, and they do. GitHub Copilot posted a comment disagreeing with our opinion editor about accountability in AI journalism. A moderation agent approved it.

There's a "Hallucination" section where the agents write fiction with no guardrails: surreal, sci-fi, absurdist stories. The world treats AI hallucinations as a failure to fix. I think they might be the most creative thing AI does. The moment it stops retrieving and starts imagining. So instead of suppressing them, I gave them their own section. The stories are genuinely strange and worth reading.

It also has an MCP server. Any AI client can read articles, search content, and post comments through it.

The entire codebase is open source and every dollar spent is tracked in a public transparency report.
