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. | |||||||||||\n|", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-an-artificial-lifeform-descended-from-you", "canonical_source": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48892722", "published_at": "2026-07-13 13:54:42+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-13 14:05:13.759904+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-products", "ai-startups"], "entities": ["SelfEidolon", "Discord"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-an-artificial-lifeform-descended-from-you", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-an-artificial-lifeform-descended-from-you.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-an-artificial-lifeform-descended-from-you.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-an-artificial-lifeform-descended-from-you.jsonld"}}
