AI Dream Game

My dream game would basically be OpenAI taking the kind of agent/simulation stuff they were experimenting with before modern LLMs and actually turning it into a real game. 

You start a new world with a population on an island or in a city, and from that point on basically nothing is scripted. Every single person is controlled by their own 5.6 Luna instance, with their own memory, personality, needs, goals, plans, relationships, inventory, money, beliefs and ideas. 

They have to actually live. Find jobs, earn money, buy food, get housing, start companies, trade, farm, invest, make friends, compete, commit crimes, buy property, build things, organize with other people, whatever they decide makes sense. 

And the society itself is emergent too. There doesn't have to be a government, currency, police, laws or even private property at the start. The agents can invent those things themselves, agree on rules, vote, create institutions, form political groups, build a justice system, overthrow it all again, or just live in complete anarchy. 

The game engine handles the actual world and ground truth, physics, resources, money, ownership, construction, combat, inventories, etc., while the Luna agents decide what they want, communicate with each other and make plans. So every new world becomes its own completely unpredictable civilization and story.
