Quite a lot of smart people are taking it seriously

We are at AE Studio with research like https://ae.studio/research/self-referential and https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.10188

Anthropic is doing interesting work here, Eleos exists (https://eleosai.org/), and https://digitalminds.substack.com/p/digital-minds-in-2025-a-... is a great review of other compelling work

The field is just beginning but it is worth taking a serious scientific approach to this work
