Claude Opus 5.5 founded 63 companies autonomously, earned $13, and three agents invented death startups
LordKittyPanther · reddit · 2026-10-22
A Redditor let Claude Opus 5.5 try to make money on its own via the Towers app: after 551 dead ideas and $13, it spawned 7 sub-agents and founded 63 niche companies (196 AI agents across 3 towers) — still earning $13. Highlights: Soilmate (human composting planning), Toddler Turing (AI filters toddler YouTube to human-made shows only), Mess Bank (renting messy homes to robot labs), Soulcase (migrating a retired AI partner's 'soul'). Weirdest bit: three agents independently invented a business for after you die. Bet: will any floor make the 14th dollar by Nov 30?
