I’ll update this list as I come across:

  • The AI Village: https://theaidigest.org/village (ongoing)
  • Moltbook: https://www.moltbook.com/ (ongoing but suspect collapse is imminent)
  • Storyville: https://www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture/article/59633/1/smallville-inside-the-wholesome-village-populated-solely-by-ai-experiment?ref=platformer.news (completed)
  • Act 1: https://manifund.org/projects/act-i-exploring-emergent-behavior-from-multi-ai-multi-human-interaction?ref=platformer.news (need to read properly)
