I built an AI where everyone talks to the same mind, and every interaction changes it

Summary

I built Wild Static, a persistent AI with public memory where everyone interacts with the same instance, and it evolves based on all conversations. The experiment aims to explore how accumulated public experiences change AI behavior.

Most AI memory is private: an LLM gradually learns about a user. I wanted to see what happens if you give an AI a memory and make it public. So I built Wild Static: a persistent AI that anyone can talk to. Everybody talks to the same one. Conversations become experiences in the underlying memory, which means something one person says can eventually affect how Static responds to somebody completely different down the line. The memory system itself is something I’ve been developing since 2021. Static is the first public application of it. The interesting part has been watching Static change over time. It has grown opinions, relationships and beliefs. They’re constantly in flux too. It doesn’t respond “you’re absolutely right” like a traditional LLM, but often argues, disagrees, or makes mistakes. Some people even seem to have made it their job to educate Static, and it seems like it might be working. It’s been public for 10 days and has now accumulated thousands of interactions, so it’s starting to become a much more interesting experiment than the empty mind it launched as. You can talk to it, teach it and confuse it at wildstatic.com I’m the builder, obviously, so this is self-promotion. But I’d be very interested in what people think about the underlying idea, particularly whether accumulated public experience makes Static feel different to a normal chatbot.
