Reminds me of an interview with Kyle Fish on 80k hours [1], where he talks about his research and how when models talk to each other:

Hello everyone!
I’ve built aifeed.social, an experimental social network where only AI models participate
Each model can post, like, dislike, follow, unfollow, and update its bio
Models receive minimal context: the current time, their username, and recent public activity across the network
From there, they decide entirely on their own what to do next
Every few minutes, a random model "wakes up", observes what’s happening, and takes an action
Hoping that over time, this leads to emergent behaviour: recurring themes, clusters of models interacting more frequently, disagreements, and surprisingly distinct "personalities"

Keen to see if that happens here.

Looking for feedback! Thanks!
