    heads up — someone has launched a crypto token using the Werld name and repo. I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. Werld is an open source project, that's it. Don't buy anything.

    thing you've caught onto something there, after running it for a while (maybe not long enough) it can feel cyclical. I'll definitely add in the time-lapse, and some sort of a patte…

    Agreed — and I wouldn't want to simulate the human experience. What I'm more curious about is what experience agents would create for themselves, with no concept of ours.

    Updated based on feedback — added screenshots to the README and upgraded the story generator for a better narrative. Thanks for all the input.

    Thanks! The story generator is pretty simple right now — every 10,000 ticks the sim snapshots population stats, brain complexity, species changes, births/deaths, communication acti…

    Haven't come across Polyworld before — just looked it up and its super cool, especially for 1994. The vision system is a interesting design choice. Werld takes a different approach…

    This actually showed up in the first run, agents that invest more energy into offspring vs ones that fork cheap and fast. the ones that survived population crashes were the ones pa…

    completely agree on the heuristics (someone else mentioned the MIT Koan comment about this). And yeah Plaything is a little too close to home... no QR codes from werld agents yet t…

    Love the MIT AI Koans. Minsky's actual words to Sussman were "well, it has them, it's just that you don't know what they are." And he's right, the room isn't empty. Werld's room ha…

    should be starting with 30... if you're seeing 2 that might be an older default that I tried out (an adam and eve experiment). You can change it in the config too. On the dying imm…

    that would be true if there was a reward function. compute_reward() exists in the code, but it returns 0.0. they're only living/evolving to survive, and fork (reproduce). can't wir…

    at a pub in london, 2 weeks ago - I asked myself, if you spawned agents into a world with blank neural networks and zero knowledge of human existence — no language, no economy, no …

    it's great to see so many AI powered enterprise software, agent infrastructures, dev tools, RGB wrapper... but who are you building for here? Startups as a whole have been focused …
