Join my Patreon for free to read first: My in-depth conversation with Philip Rosedale and Brad Oberwager on the challenges of bringing AI-powered NPCs into Second Life.
Or I should say, adding next gen AI-powered NPCs, because as Brad notes, "the horse has been out of the barn" for years. But the promise and peril is far greater, now they can be more powerful than ever before:
"What we're trying to figure out is," he tells, "how do we give people the opportunity to have these NPCs, to build these characters, without all of a sudden, you know -- the classic one that everyone says is, 'Without a bunch of Nazis running around.'"
Read it all here, and don't miss the fascinating (if a little creepy!) story of the LLM-powered surfer NPC that Brad once met -- it's totally gnarly.
