I'll give this a go on the weekend, might be a fun way to intro NN to kids as well.
What if this was actually a Tamagochi? Anyone have ideas?
This squid can interact with the environment in many ways, hence it can learn new stuff, and maybe do new stuff.

A digital pet squid that also teaches how neural networks and hebbian learning work. Behaviours are driven by the neural network according to his needs:

I spent AGES on this and would love feedback. I think it's just the right balance of educational and fun. I did all the graphics myself and am currently working on multiplayer - squids will be able top enter other tanks and steal things, bring them home

This might also see a long shelf life, say, as familiars of fantasy rpgs, as pets from a fictionalized world-building narrative online; I guess it could be so for any LLM in principle, but the basic Sims-like gamification behind a tamagotchi seems like a solid foundation for those usecases.
