In a lame attempt to relight a flickering flame here:
The whole ClawdBot/MoltBook thing has come into my awareness in the last
few days and I suspect some folks here with similar histories to my own
(specifically the Core Wars <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_War>,
Tierra <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tierra_(computer_simulation)>,
ALife <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_artificial_life>, early
Social-Media era) might be similarly fascinated to see such experiments
trying to jump the sides of their cage and eat their keepers?

- nod to JRR Martin and Guerin's favorite NetLogo Ant-ABM demos
and Marcus/Glen's SWARM-roots.

I know I came to this group in what appears to be its twilight. The
in-person meetups are weirdly sad. I feel pressed to ask if it is the
case that everyone is either:
1. on vacation/ too busy
2. too depressed / failing to find inspiration
3. moved on to greener forums
4. preferring the company of LLMs
...
N. waiting for someone frail to post
Sometimes I trawl reddit or whatever discord, but I cannot help but
feel like beacons of inspiration are becoming fewer and further
between. This group has managed to inspire me, keep my interest, for
over a decade. In that time, I pushed myself to understand
perspectives that I would never have dreamed existed. I hope there is
still something to talk about.
