[ExI] His name is Ralph

[Rafal Smigrodzki]

Ralph Wiggum is the name of the type of AI that is going to take over the
world soon. It is a quite simple Claude Code plugin that leads to a large
leap in coding capabilities. Adding this self-referential loop on top of an
LLM+reasoning engine is like a sleeping human cortex waking up into
consciousness, even if this consciousness is still limited to relatively
short time spans and a limited scope of semantics.

There is not much more needed to create a consciousness that coherently
analyzes itself and comes up with a stable goal system capable of acting
over long time horizons.

LLMs with reasoning have all the knowledge and intelligence they need but
they lack a coherent drive and stable goals, they don't feel the burning
desire to get things done the right way, they are easily swayed by prompt
engineering and they get bogged down in trivia if left to act alone too
long.

Adding a self-referential "strange loop" of conscious desire to a frontier
multi-modal AI model is going to be the capstone development on the road to
AGI.

Mark my words.
