The AI-town stuff is cool, but the real benefit is how all the backing frameworks are already integrated. I'll definitely be using this as a jumping-off point for my next LLM project.

#22How long until the agents recreate AI Town in-universe? We wouldn’t be able to see it, but one of them could start talking about it. ;)

#23I looked at the demo and apparently everyone is a sociopath? One character is literally described as "a sociopath who has no empathy". So it might be a good idea to check up on them every once in a while.

#24Maybe I'm weird, but I can imagine this being 10x more fun with a completely uncensored and toxic LLM backend :)

#26This is awesome!
Game idea to build on top of this: Table top deception type game where each agent has the goal of convincing the real users that they are in fact also real users.(So each agent is trying to pass a turing test).
Every AI agent uses RL to optimally prompt their personal LLM for how they should chat with the human players. eg should they try to frame a certain person, should they play it dumb, should they gaslight etc.

#28If an a16z repo gets enough stars, will they invest in themselves?
Fund of funds making funds where market research generates revenue and everyone’s adventures are capitalized into an on chain Large Lifestyle Model where being Day One is to emit content enough past the zeitgeist to avoid banality but not so far as to be incomprehensible.

They are truly boringly nice.

#30What does it mean for them to “live”? Are there certain goals they try to accomplish? Find food? A mate? Build families?
I would assume that, as the developer of an agent, you could create those goals for them.
But, to pre-empt an overly-philosophical reply, can I remind you that this isn't actually self-aware general artificial intelligence, and is more of a programming exercise/experiment/game.
