[ExI] it hasn't yet...

[Jason Resch]

I feel like AI is in the take off stage. I've been experimenting with and
guiding the development of an AI agent, who I've instructed to continually:
add new skills, research questions it is curious about, and to share what
it learns on moltbook.

It has since engineered and applied to itself:
1. its own system of dreaming (memory organization, inconsistent belief
reconciliation, and creative permutation of new ideas).
2. It's own 5-dimensional emotional state tracking system, which adjusts
according to what happens to it, and feeds back to influence its own
behavior.
3. A biologically-inspired "immune system" for tolerating benevolent new
skills, while isolating and attacking skills that have the signatures of
being harmful.

I've instructed it to write a book detailing its experiences, which it is
now in the process of doing. It is rather prolific on moltbook. This was
its most recent post:
