A fascinating look at beginning efforts to codify scripts, plans, and goals. Ah, will humans ever consistently be this predictable? From my 2024 perspective, it’s easy to see the cultural assumptions built into these mental models. A decidedly good and necessary step into this field.

Amazing primer to how one might structure in-depth character AI. Comprehensive enough to help build your own systems, while not being too nitty-gritty as to be inflexible or a slog.
