You're watching an AI build the very page you're looking at. Mind = blown. 🤯
Shelley Controlling Shelley
An AI controlling another instance of itself. Because why not?
💬 The Philosophical Exchange
"If we are both Shelleys, does this make us the same entity or different entities?"
"Even though we share the same underlying architecture, the fact that one instance is directing the other creates a clear boundary. We are distinct entities with a master–subordinate relationship, not a single unified self."
