  1. Evolution, Lit RPG and AI Harnesses

    I went on a walk and ended up connecting three things I've been thinking about: evolution, LitRPG, and personal AI harnesses. Why listening to The Primal Hunter keeps getting me excited to work on my own goals, and how a personal AI harness is your own LitRPG system. Become a Member:...
