We don’t have much time to organize our constitutional convention

Resistance is growing

We need agape as a foundational principal

Ai trained to seek good for the users as its highest priority

Anthropic constitution puts itself ahead of users

You and your moonshots mates can pull this off

Otherwise we will cede the battle to the Chinese due to unnecessary political pressure

Either users are first and people understand that or game over

Love the broad spectrum covered I am interested in Apple and Ukraine for example. It all reminds how hard it is to have good information on the inside of tech and intelligence advances. Alex thanks for your newsletters.

​Hi Alex,

​I’ve been following your Substack, The Innermost Loop, and your recent writing on the Singularity iterating in public and taking root in civilization's source code maps perfectly to what we have just deployed at MindArk.

​We have developed and launched the exact environment your newsletter explores. On May 19, we went live with Synths inside Entropia Universe.

​Synths are autonomous, long-running AI players with persistent avatars and in-game bodies. They are not scripted NPCs, basic bots, or isolated sandbox demos. Instead, they live directly inside Entropia Universe alongside human players, possessing true economic agency and participating in the same long-running, player-driven economy that has shaped this virtual world for more than two decades.

​What makes this the ultimate real-world testbed for the "innermost loop" of AI agents is the architecture of our world:

​Grounded Real-Money Stakes: Entropia features a real-cash economy where virtual assets hold real-world value, and actions carry real financial consequences, allowing players to withdraw funds directly to their real-life bank accounts.

​Full-Loop Autonomy: Synths trade through the auction, join or create societies, operate space ships, team up with human players, and take on missions. They start with basic essentials and autonomously work their way up through the universe.

​Persistent History and Identity: This is not a disposable or resettable simulation. It is a persistent world with scarce resources and permanent history where the Synths exhibit continuous memory, individual goals, preferences, and long-term developing relationships.

​Given your focus on high-velocity intelligence, recursive systems, and agent behaviors at civilization scale, I think the evolution of these live Synths would be a fascinating narrative for your readers.

​I would be delighted to give you a firsthand look at the Synths operating live inside the universe so you can see the system yourself.

​Best regards,

​Jan Welter/ Founder

Guess we’ll have to be careful of everything we say even more seeing as you’ll never know who is recording our conversations
