New lab to study long-lived human + agent collectives, partnering with Botto
hudsonsims · x · 2026-09-24
hudsonsims announced he will prioritize founding a separate lab to study and build for long-lived human + agent collectives. Still in development, the lab envisions a deep partnership with Botto: Botto provides a living environment to deploy R&D and a cultural wedge for new thinking about human-agent collectives. If mutually agreed, Botto could serve as an active advisor or contributor, with possible value-share agreements on joint commercial projects. More details coming soon.
