Very Cool. The mysterious part was "more interesting than programming go".
That seemed almost impossible.

Are you not going to tell us what this new job is about?
I almost forgot to answer this, I had no intention to sound
mysterious. My job is to make autonomous avatars (also called NPCs or
'bots') for a new MMO platform called Blue Mars. The immediate goal is
to make them more interesting, intelligent and interactive than the
zombie bots currently populating such worlds. That is a pretty easy
target. The ultimate goal is to make them actually seem intelligent
and indistinguishable from real players or even replace a real player
when he/she is not online. I've been given a practically free hand in
how I think this is accomplished best. I've only just started laying
the groundwork, but already there are some results that people are
excited about. So far so good.
