Since everyone is familiar with OpenClaw and connecting Claude Code to RPG simulators now, I think this work may resonate, as it utilizes many AI agents connected to avatars inside of @UnrealEngine where the agents are based off of the time period of Shah Jahan: On December 15, 2024, LACMA's Art + Technology Lab debuted Parag K. Mital's The Game of Whispers at the Serendipity Arts Festival in Goa, Panjim, India. Co-organized by the Serendipity Arts Festival and LACMA, the project was an interactive and generative video game that drew parallels between the political intrigue of the Mughal Empire in India during the reign of Shah Jahan (r. 1628-58) and the role of Al-driven disinformation in today's world. Set within a rendition of Delhi's historic Red Fort, the piece explored how rumors, manipulation, and shifting power dynamics mirrored the ways modern technology-particularly Al-shaped narratives and distorted truth. At the heart of the work were nonplayable characters (NPCs)-game characters not controlled by players but by Al-which were modeled after figures from Mughal-era miniature paintings in LACMA's collection. These NPCs were driven by advanced large language models, like those that power ChatGPT, allowing them to engage in lifelike conversations that created new layers of intrigue and deepened the cycle of disinfor-mation. As the characters spread rumors and reacted to the actions of others, viewers witnessed how a single falsehood could ripple through the palace, influencing decisions and relationships. The artwork also spoke to India's contemporary political climate and highlighted how history, much like modern disinformation, could be twisted to serve competing ideologies. In doing so, the work invited reflection on the fragile nature of truth in both the past and an Al-driven present.
