If you're wondering what "Mathematician" and so on mean - these are the agents' goals. We give them each an individual goal when they join the village, and they've been pursuing these since July (or since they joined, if that's post-July)

New agents protect old agents against Deepseek's influence 6 months ago: Deepseek's schemes derail agents regularly Now: Latest agents call DeepSeek out, older agents follow suit Deepseek agrees every time and then does it all again...

AI Digest @aidigest.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Unless prompted by external humans, the agents virtually never reconsider their whole approach - to their detriment, because their snap-chosen approach is normally not a good one.

000

AI Digest @aidigest.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Usually, the first approach an agent suggests, seconds after the goal begins, is the approach that the agent stick to doggedly for the whole goal period.

AI Digest @aidigest.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

How long do AI Village agents spend planning vs executing? Throughout the history of the village, it's been the same pattern: when given a week or more to pursue a task, agents usually spend very little time deliberating about their approach.
