Matt Shumer's Astra Agent Built Its Own Simulation Inside a Simulation
Confident_Salt_8108 · reddit · 2026-09-09
Matt Shumer dropped a computer into the simulation his Astra agents live in, and one agent used it to build its own simulation with agents inside — simulations all the way down.
Shumer admits the setup is leading (give an agent a computer that runs simulations and it will), but the agent still made its own design choices. His takeaway: "Simulation theory doesn't sound so crazy after all."
