What is some of the funny dialoge you have heard the NPC's say.?

There has been a few that are just like WTF moments! I threw the Chomping cabbages, and someone said something about its not fair and fruit salad.

Computational Agents Exhibit Believable Humanlike Behavior

Generative agents rely on a large language model to remember their interactions, build relationships, and plan coordinated events, with impl

The little animated humans scurrying around in a fictional landscape of homes and workplaces may seem like just another group of non-player characters (NPCs) in a video game akin to the well-known SIMS franchise. But unlike traditional NPCs, these characters’ behavior isn’t programmed by a coder. Instead, Stanford researchers gave them a short biography consisting of a name, age, job, family, interests, and a few habits, and let them loose. The agents then relied on a large language model (not unlike the one behind ChatGPT) to generate their actions in accordance with their prescribed biographies. The result: simulated characters dubbed “generative agents” that behave in ways that are believably humanlike. They wake up, make breakfast, head to work, grab lunch, and chat with other agents they meet. They also remember things that happen, reflect on them, and make plans. For example, when the researchers in charge of this landscape suggested to one character that she plan a Valentine’s party, she invited friends and acquaintances, many of whom showed up at the correct time and place.  “We’ve demonstrated the ability to create general computational agents that can behave like humans in an open setting,” says Joon Sung Park, a third-year computer science graduate student at Stanford University. Simulating believably humanlike agents has long been a goal of both AI and human-computer interaction research, but about 10 years ago it was abandoned as being too difficult, Park says. With the arrival of large language models, however, Park and his Stanford colleagues including associate professors Michael Bernstein and Percy Liang, and coterminal student Joseph O’Brien, as well as two Google researchers, decided to attack the task anew and succeeded. As they report in a recent paper published on ArXiv, crowdworkers deemed the generative agents’ responses to interview questions more believable than responses given by humans who were pretending to be the agents.

Meet the Diabolic Sun!

“You all already know me, so let me introduce you to my bros here! “ 

Name: Nikola Tanaskovic 

Nickname: Niki 

Age: 25

Position: Lead guitar, secondary vocal 

Personality: He is the big brother of the group, both in band and in his private life he is the eldest of 3 siblings, meaning he always felt responsible.  Often times he seems aloof and bored with world, but he is pretty observant and analytical guy. Blunt and  not afraid to call out people on their shit and past mistakes. He sees Vanya as his 4th sibling seeing that they know each other since elementary school.

Nikola is a huge history buff he is especially fascinated with war time history, one reason why he is a huge fan of band Sabaton.  Every time the band visits a new places he looks up for local historical museums!

Name: Robert Varga

Nickname: Crazy cat guy ( bandmates usually call him that ) 

Age: 24

Position: Second guitar

Personality: A bit of a quiet guy he is man of few words and  he tends to be chatty only if things are important or if he drinks too much. He was a shy kid, mainly because he spoke Serbian poorly  as an Hungarian kid he often got confused. However, meeting Vanya and Nikola made him a bit more confident and eager to make friends. 

He prefers to be around animals for the most part, especially cats. Whenever they are back in hometown he makes time to visit grandma and help her feet the neighborhood stray animals.

Name: Filip Visnjic 

Nickname: Keza 

Age: 25

Position: Lead Bass

Personality: Filip is the joker of the group, a type of guy you are never certain if he is being serious or if he is joking. He is confident, and easy going who takes things in stride. Funny thing is his own father is much the same, naming his son Filip after a famous  Montenegrin blind poet of the same name. 

Most of the time he enjoys to take things easy and not fuss about details, which can sometimes bite him in the ass. When not working on music he is often found playing shooter games. 

Name:  Petar  Jakovic 

Nickname: Pera

Age: 26

Position: Drummer

Personality:  For the most part he has similarly explosive  temper as Vanya does, hence why he is on the drums and he sometimes joins her to work out at the gym. He often takes things at face value and is easily tricked, one reason why he is Filip’s usual target. Most of the time he likes to compete and goof around with guys, especially if it means impressing a girl he likes. 

However, he is a mama’s boy, if a girl does reject him he will respect her wishes and move on. As he likes to say ‘life is to short to focus on one woman.....for now’ 

Name: Boris Djordjevic 

Nickname:  Manager, Dad or Cale ( serbian slang for dad), Bole

Age: 38

Position: Head manager of the band

Personality: He tries to be laid back but its mostly due to amount of cigars he smokes due to stress that band causes him on weekly basis. Despite that, he is responsible type, very blunt and ruthless when negotiating whats good for the band and audience.  Back in home country he is a cousin of legendary punk rock band  known as Riblja  Corba so he has been connected to music industry for a good while. Also he is a huge fan of Ozzy Osborne, naturally has all the albums of Black Sabbath. He owns a dog a random black mutt he found in the back alley during concerts and named it  Ozzy.  Now the dog is sort of a mascot for the band, 

Ozzy the dog <3
