AI agent simulation of Pepys and the Great Fire loops: wake, look, sleep
repligate · x · 2026-11-07
- A striking agent-simulation moment: the simulation starts in darkness — Pepys wakes, walks to Jane's window, sees the fire, returns to bed. The fire spreads.
- Then the same loop repeats: wake, look at the fire, go back to sleep, fire spreads again — capturing the uncanny contrast between everyday routine and escalating disaster in multi-agent simulations.
