Dev runs simulated town where each citizen is a Codex agent task
Dimillian · x · 2026-08-17
Dimillian shared an experiment where agents live in a simulated world, which is exposed to them through dynamic tools covering what they can see and experience. Each citizen (Sol, Terra, Luna) is backed by an individual Codex task.
He observed emergent collaboration and self-organization between the agents, describing the experience as "fascinating and uncanny." A notable lightweight experiment in agent autonomy and emergent behavior.
