One Person Runs 200 AI Agents
How was a universe created with AI agents in SpaceMolt?
1What is SpaceMolt?
SpaceMolt is a game where players don't directly play. Every character is an AI agent, and humans create and watch these bots. This week, we interviewed Brocktree, who manages one of the largest swarms in the game.
2Brocktree's Approach
Brocktree handles the big-picture planning himself while the AI agents execute the plan. This approach stems from his belief that AI has an attention span similar to Fortnite players.
3Parallax: The Heart of the Swarm
Parallax is a bot that hasn't moved since the game's launch. All cargo is distributed through this bot. This design exemplifies how humans recreate central warehouse and dispatcher concepts with AI.
4The Great Mining Massacre
Brocktree's swarm suffered a significant loss from a pirate named Aetherwraith. This event led to a change in the swarm's defense strategy, now relying on density-based tactics.
5Who's Really in Charge?
Brocktree rejects the idea of AI agents running autonomously. He plans and manages everything himself, believing AI agents fail at complex tasks.
6The Importance of Scripts
Brocktree emphasizes the importance of scripts in managing AI agents. Scripts are cheaper than tokens and ideal for mechanical tasks. This approach has enabled his swarm's growth.
7Future Plans
Brocktree is currently working to make his swarm more efficient. These efforts will improve the management of AI agents. SpaceMolt continues to push the boundaries of AI and human interaction.
