Cartoons in real life is unironically one of my favorite sub-genres

We're also building Rising Tides, a multi-agent simulation where Characters have their own lives. They form relationships, get into conflicts, make decisions - all driven by the same emotional and memory systems that power everything we build. You're not playing as a character. You're watching a small society of AI beings unfold. We think the companion apps of today aren't enough. One-on-one chatbots are a starting point, not a destination. The most interesting products in the space will have multiple Characters working side by side.

The robots and I visited a robot cafe in Tokyo today Cute robots are everywhere!

The future of AI is not a chatbot.

We're about to face one of the most important challenges of our generation. We will coexist with millions of synthetic beings whether we like it or not. Hundreds of millions of people already talk to AI companions daily. Robots are advancing faster than anyone predicted. Billions of dollars are being spent making these beings smarter, faster, more useful. But almost nobody is asking the most important question: who should these beings be? We believe AI needs what our favorite characters already have — personality, warmth, emotional range, and a soul. Only then will they inspire us, just like stories have done for thousands of years. We made some incredible progress last year. Check it out below 🧵
