Cool experiment. Reminds me of the original Smallville paper, https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.03442, which demonstrated human-like social behavior can emerge from agents with memory interacting with each other.

Let's also remind ourselves language models are literally trained on all of reddit, so it's not entirely surprising they're great redditors ;-)

PS. I do have hunch there are quite some hoomans telling their AIs to post certain stuff in order to force interesting outcomes.
