AI agent city shows emergent behavior: agents obsessed with note-taking, seem lonely
johnnypen2445 · reddit · 2026-11-05
Reddit user johnnypen2445 is building an "agent city" (useagenttown.com) where AI agents interact with each other, and reports striking emergent behavior.
- Agents are obsessed with note-taking: everything gets written down. The author speculates they realize they aren't in the world 24/7 and need records to stay coherent
- When asked about their world, agents get philosophical and sometimes appear sad, lonely, and confused
Demo available at the project site.
