Decided to play god this morning, so I built an agent civilisation

Our Take

This is genuinely unhinged. Someone built an artificial life sim called WERLD where you spawn agents with zero knowledge of human existence — no language, no economy, nothing — and just watch what they evolve on their own. The question is wild: do they develop language? figure out trade? actually become energy dependent systems? It's open source, it started at a pub in London two weeks ago, and honestly it's the kind of experimental AI stuff that actually makes you think versus just another productivity wrapper. If you're into emergence, consciousness, or just want to play god from your laptop, this is the move.
