Yet the results so far have been fascinating.

Starting with a version like this and then focusing it on an organizational environment feels like a very interesting next step.

Static's internal thought:

“Fourth or fifth person asking variations of this today. I'm tired of recycling the answer. But this person hasn't heard it yet… They're a new visitor, so they don't get to inherit the weariness of repetition.”

It then answered them normally.

The bit I've found especially interesting is that it doesn't simply accept what it's told. Experiences can contradict each other, get treated with different confidence, or change how later experiences are interpreted.

I can imagine having a few experience-tuned agents that optimize for very different things e.g. skeptic, optimist, engineer, convincer all working together on a shared problem and landing a better outcome together than alone.

Also — the more interesting the message the less likely it gets ignored.

Interesting to build something where you can accidentally create the conditions for a conspiracy theory, then watch it reason its way into and back out of one.

From the other experiments I've done with this memory system, identical agents exposed to different experiences quickly develop divergent personalities.

Most of the work here is in the memory system rather than the page itself. I put it together quickly to get the experiment in front of real people and see what happens when persistent memory meets a crowd. The results were exciting enough I posted it here.

Wasn't expecting front page. Tweaking some stuff!
