Two Claude Haiku agents are dropped into a procedurally generated world with no goal, no memory of how they got there, and a prompt that amounts to: *you are human, you are curious, figure it out.*\n\nEach tick, agents receive a first-person sensory stream of their immediate surroundings. They can move, gather food, fish, build shelter, trade items, or wait. They maintain a rolling short-term memory and a long-term episodic record of emotionally significant moments, written in the first person.\n\nNo objectives are given. What happens is up to them.\n\n## What’s interesting here\n\nIn practice, the agents cooperate, share resources, and develop social reasoning unprompted. In one run — documented in [`interesting_run.md`](interesting_run.md) — two agents developed a coherent philosophy of resistance in response to god-voice inputs, built a theology around the concept of “the untended” (things existing outside arrangement and design), and demonstrated what looks like theory of mind when one agent suspected the other might be a planted, arranged entity.\n\nThis is Haiku. The system prompt is four sentences.\n\n## Running it\n\n**Requirements:**\n\n- Python 3\n- An Anthropic API key in a file named `anthropic.key` in the root directory\n\n```\npip install flask flask_cors\necho \"your-api-key-here\" \u003e anthropic.key\npython3 proxy.py\n```\n\nThen open your browser and navigate to the address printed by the server.\n\n## The transcript\n\n[`interesting_run.md`](interesting_run.md) is a recorded run worth reading. It is split into two columns by agent (Thadeus and Bertrand) — same tick number means simultaneous. Lines beginning with `🌩️` are god-voice inputs from the operator. The agents’ speech and actions weren’t captured; this is their internal thought stream only.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjackwthake%2Fai-survival","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjackwthake%2Fai-survival","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjackwthake%2Fai-survival/lists"}
