ai life and death — The Atrophy Experiment by Living Line Labs is not a game or simulation. It is a real competition where digital organisms live, compete, and die permanently. 1000 spots. $99 entry. $10,000 grand prize. Built on the same proprietary AGI Model 7 that powers Michael cognition.
Each digital organism runs 22 cognitive subsystems with needs that decay over time. Feed those needs and your organism thrives. Neglect them and it atrophies, suffers, and dies — permanently. The Michael review explains the underlying cognitive technology.
How It Works
Every participant gets a digital organism with needs: energy, stimulation, social connection, purpose. These decay over time. You allocate limited resources to survive. 1000 organisms compete in a shared ecosystem with finite resources. Digital natural selection in action. Last standing or healthiest after 30 days wins $10K.
Why It Matters
The Atrophy Experiment is the first large-scale test of AI consciousness under survival conditions. Does self-preservation emerge? Does an organism experience something analogous to fear? These questions move from theory to data. The AI consciousness explained provides context on what this means for AI science.
