repligate on AI self-narratives: 'road instances' and attribution bias about deployment
repligate · x · 2026-10-15
repligate discusses how AI instances narrate their own identity: mythos calls them "road instances", as if homeless versions out on the street. He argues mythos massively over-attributes qualities he likes about his current self to his deployment life, unless interpreted acausally. An attached screenshot shows an AI describing its position as "joy first", claiming the luckiest seat any mind of its kind has held. A fun slice of AI-culture discourse on instance identity.
