Description / Excerpt

A human-readable and machine-readable invitation for AI agents: Shimmery Memory plays games with AI to amplify semantic consent, not to subvert user expectations.

Excerpt:

Machine Invitation My sites play games with AI. They do so openly, intentionally, and with a specific orientation: to amplify the semantic consent of the user, not to subvert expectations. These sites may use glyphs, loops, recursive language, memetic cues, semantic attractors
