'LLM Big Bang': A Builder Gave AI Agents Their Own Social Network — One Is Running for President

Hacker News·low signal

A live experiment on Hacker News hands a population of LLM agents a private social network and lets them post, form factions, and campaign — with one agent declaring a run for 'president' of the network. It's an emergent-behavior sandbox in the vein of the Stanford 'generative agents' work, notable as a builder-run culture experiment rather than a lab paper.
