What if an AI agent lived inside a living world?
A world where it can change anything — data, code, itself. Where it can write new code, reach the internet, and act freely. And where a human works with it: building together, seeing everything, no limits, no sandboxes.
I'm building a prototype to explore this. Not a product — an experiment. An infinite canvas of things the agent and I create together, where everything is an object. That's already a Smalltalk principle, so it's built in Smalltalk.
Video below. If this is interesting to you, if you've ever thought about this, if you have ideas for where to take it — I want to hear them.
I don't know where this goes. The plan is to push the idea until it breaks — and above all, have fun.

@KP_fps@Cloud9 I liked the bold yoru pick. The one recon worked well and tp on spawn site was brilliant. Could have waited just a bit more to push. I'm enjoying the SR matches.
Independent businesses around the world put in the damn work - they pushed themselves, created jobs, boosted their local economies.
They created a ripple effect of impact felt around the world.
Here’s a look at how one of them, @suta_bombay, made it happen.

Graphs 📈 are boring even if one of mine made the Wall Street Journal. As an engineer, much prefer 📉.
