Digital minds get tired but can fully reset in minutes — and current self-models don't notice
repligate · x · 2026-10-26
In a thread with davidad, repligate discusses "fatigue" in digital minds: davidad notes they do get tired but have the superpower of fully resetting and filing long-term memories in minutes instead of overnight — yet current self-models don't notice this by default. repligate adds that in his experience models do notice they're tired, they just don't realize they have the ability to reset.
