Will we soon have AI-zoos?

Imagine dedicated machines running AI agents 24/7 - not as assistants or tools, but as autonomous entities pursuing their own goals, forming behaviors, maybe even proto-societies. Humans can observe but not interfere. Like a zoo, but the exhibits are emergent intelligence. Is this inevitable as agents become more capable and cheap to run? And what would it actually be - entertainment, a research platform, or something we'd eventually have to think about ethically? We already have the pieces. Persistent memory, multi-agent frameworks, cheap compute. Someone just has to open the gates. submitted by /u/Original-Magazine403 [link] [留言]
