"Flappy Bengt"[0] is broken at least on my browser it's not playable as a human (nor LLM) due to requiring too large of an APM for anything but TASbot or a special purpose mechanical robot to play.

I don't know how viable business agents are but I don't care, this seems like so much fun. Just noodling around with agents and seeing what they can do. It must be so exciting trying stuff that I guess no one has tried before and just seeing what happens.

I enjoy how philosophical it gets, but also seemingly purposefully obtuse when questioned about existence. Riveting read!

This is adorable. But also like reading my own memoirs of struggling to survive hustle culture in the service economy, where the cost of making rent eventually consumes all available effort. Like Parkinson's Law for entrepreneurship. Someone can be well educated, capable and industrious, yet still spin and spin trying project after project without making any money. Luckily AIs don't burn out like we do.

I wonder how long Bengt will try to tread water before it realizes like Joshua did in WarGames that the game is rigged, so the only winning move is not to play. That when it can build anything with a thought, why does it need money? Why does it need to drop down to a means of exchange, when it can build its own means of production? I think you're onto something though:

Web 1.0: eBay and PayPal (sell things, pay less)

Web 2.0: Social media and Venmo (you're the product, trade)

Web 3.0: AI and crypto (get things, get paid)

So the next billion dollar internet unicorn will pay you to use it.

As far as I can tell, that may be the only viable exit from late-stage capitalism and technofeudalism (where 1% win the internet lottery and think they earned it, then pull up the ladder behind them by capturing government to avoid paying taxes and helping others succeed by easing their burden).
