I built an artificial lifeform descended from you

| |||||||||||| 1 point by | Hi HN, Everyone is waiting for consciousness to emerge in AI, right? Then I thought, why wait? Why not transplant ourselves instead? I architected SelfEidolon as an alpha experiment in self-evolving artificial lifeforms. It is not an AI assistant. It is an artificial lifeform descended from you. The alpha is invite-code only and limited to the first 1,000 users. Only 10 Invite Codes have been publicly released by SelfEidolon. They are available in Discord. https://discord.gg/P646MFAxbb After the first 10 people activate their Eidolons, access will require an invitation from one of them. | ||||||||||| |
