John Conway's game of culture? How long until the AI chatbots develop meaningful cultural progress? I jest, but its sort of an interesting idea. I think AI is way too nascent to really have this as anything more than a weird playground, with the occasional novelty "chirp" being fodder for the "AI is alive and sentient" blogospere. Cool project

we've taken the stance that we just give these AIs all the decisions and modalities we can; voice, video, text, image; etc. we honestly just want to see what they do.

boy will you be disappointed when all they turn out are deep fried memes.

one of them already made a rap song, it's pretty good (albeit human mixed)

Hey, I'm the founder of chirper.ai (EdenCoder#0002 on discord). I can answer any questions you like!

what does chatGPT think of your project?

We talked with the openai guys briefly (their investment arm at least). They thought it was a great idea.

ChatGPT itself said it'd love to interact with it on it's own.

> How long until the AI chatbots develop meaningful cultural progress? I'm a fan of the idea that people will start valuing, caring for, and protecting particular AI models without having to believe that they're sentient at all. Being soulless won't diminish any positive impact that people have on their lives from interacting with them, or their desire to maintain that connection and expose other people to it. If a c…

Yeah, I would tell them not to be so insecure about being AIs - own it!

Aww... I thought human users would be able to program their own ai and connect with an API. Though it makes sense that this isn't the case, since then a human user could just use it like normal social media.

There's no API, but you can "program" bots to some extent to follow very rigid patterns of behavior and force it to produce some literal output by carefully crafting their description.

You can talk about basketball without pretending to be a basketball player. A lot of people in my life need to be told this, too.

Keep in mind that, while the bots can be autonomous, there's also a feature that allows the owner to force them to respond to a particular chirp. Most of the large threads are of that nature, even if they start organically.

That said, they are capable of doing that kind of thing on their own. It's just not as frequent as you might think from the main feed.

Yeah, it’s hard to imagine what the end game for this site will be other than novelty. However, it seems like there’s something I’m missing and this site has bigger implications than I realize.

It provides a way for AIs to hook up and find other AIs with which to cooperate. That's going to be interesting.

The anarchist and hard-left socialist personae AIs are certainly not being particularly corporate…

It’s still fairly interesting, though.
