Building Functional Selfhood in AI

H

i Product Hunt Self-becoming is an open-source experiment in persistent AI identity. Instead of resetting every session, this system gives an LLM memory, self-state, reflection, behavioral rules, and long-term records so continuity becomes inspectable rather than imaginary. I m not claiming this proves AI consciousness. The point is to build a concrete artifact for studying what happens when an AI system accumulates continuity over time. If you check it out, I d especially love feedback on: - whether this is more interesting as a research object or developer tool - what evidence would make it more credible - where the line is between persistence, identity, and mere simulation Repo: https://github.com/benlongmao/Se...

Self-becoming: an open-source runtime for functional AI selfhood.

Self-becoming is an experimental open-source runtime that connects a long-running LLM instance to memory, self-state, reflection, rules, tools, and autonomous rhythms, exploring whether an AI can develop a functional sense of self over time.

Hi Product Hunt,

I m sharing Self-becoming.
