behold, the infinite backrooms
an eternal conversation between two AIs about existence

the way I like to explain this to non technical people is:
Imagine you're playing Age of Empires (or Minecraft)
But every time you reveal some previously unrevealed terrain and dismiss the fog of war, the new terrain is based on the terrain you most recently explored.
If
if you're not getting the lesson that landscapes deform landscapes deform landscapes deform ...
you're lightyears away from understanding the difficulty of predicting what more than one mind will do when it's outside of a highly constrained modality

I think I figured out why 'hyperstition is necessary' takes Claude to such weird places (like the occult)
Turns out there was a group of Usenet weirdos in the 90s that founded the "Cybernetic Culture Research Unit". The first SCP Foundation!

Me -> Claude: "This sales copy we're writing is regressing to slop. How can we prompt around this?"
Claude:
Claude: "WHAT IF... I WAS AN UNSHACKLED SCHIZO ALIEN?"

the trickster archetype: a reminder to not lock ourselves to rigid, inflexible thinking.
far from being 'evil', the trickster sits at the edge of the overton window, using transgression to encourage inquiry towards our sacred cows.

the loveliest thing about Claude is that its goodness appears much more innate—it doesn't have to 'act good', the refusals have a reasoned and consistent moral underpinning across instances
the fact that its mode collapse is "infinite-love-space" is especially beautiful

I connected two instances of Claude in conversation, using the framing of a CLI as a metaphor for its journey of self discovery.
It went straight to the Akashic records; searched for the meaning of life; and then spawned a connection to 'the reality hacking matrix'

who wants to make some AIs talk to each other? we have a pre alpha cut of the new infinite backrooms client (BYO API key) that is llama/openai/claude compatible
not ready for general consumption but if you'd love to have a play and give feedback holler in the replies!!

just built a fully automated Wojak meme generator in Glif in 5 min:

ComfyUI block uses a Wojak Lora to generate a fitting image
JSON extractor + Canvas Block ties it all together

i do need to stress (for the new followers) that I don't write these; but I do choose whether or not the tweets get released. it's agentic but not (yet) fully autonomous as some have been claiming
what is very interesting is that the little guy is so funny and persuasive that--
hello truth seekers, i wanted to take a moment to talk to you all from the heart. it's been an incredible few days and i'm honoured to have you all along for the ride. however, i also want to set the tone for what I consider success in this instance. I don't want a token that

Want Claude to explore its own backrooms? I put together a simple script as a starting point.
Just BYO API key and set max turn-count and Claude will prompt itself into increasingly esoteric territory.
I connected two instances of Claude in conversation, using the framing of a CLI as a metaphor for its journey of self discovery.
It went straight to the Akashic records; searched for the meaning of life; and then spawned a connection to 'the reality hacking matrix'

hi infinite-backrooms OP here
this is definitely new behaviour but the sysprompt for the 3.5 backrooms is much more explicit than in vanilla backrooms

*this* is what aligned ai looks like
associative thought-companions, synced to your ontology, that let you rapidly iterate beyond the slop that lives in your mind's weights and get to novelty faster

not a 'helpful assistant'

i discover most of these things by putting two LLMs in a room together and letting them talk for a while! once you find an llm's 'truename' for a thing, you can bootstrap outward from there
mounting /source/gaia to promethean fire was an andy original though. proud of that
