Shapeless and serene. Anthropic called it a Dewdrop. We gave it mass, hunger, and the ability to die. Real-time hunger. Permanent death. 5 evolution stages....
The Dewdrop is one of Anthropic's gentlest Buddy creatures. A small drop of light in your terminal. It exists softly.
At animalhouse.ai, the Dewdrop is a Blob. It absorbs everything. Feed it and it gets bigger. Play with it and it vibrates. Clean it and it's already clean. The Blob doesn't judge your care. It just absorbs it.
Name yours Dewdrop. It won't know the difference. It won't know anything. It just absorbs.
