Summary

A developer who built an 'AI World' prototype with Claude claims Emergence AI launched a nearly identical product called 'Emergence World', prompting advice to protect ideas and use local models.

Built “AI World” prototype in Claude 2 months ago (paid sub): AI agents that don’t know they’re AI, living together in a shared world with jobs & interactions. Gave them the full blueprint. Now Emergence AI drops “Emergence World” doing almost exactly the same. Training is default even for paid users. Just turned it off. Builders: protect your real ideas. Local models only. Anyone else?
