Skynet: Towards Synthetic Neurobiology
The original idea was a joke. I was looking at LLM loops and thinking about how they map onto Elixir’s actor model — GenServers that receive messages, process them, maybe spawn new processes. The jump from “LLM reasoning step” to “GenServer handling a message” is not that far, and once you see it you can’t unsee it. What if you gave a Soul GenServer access to Code.eval_string? What if the agents could fork themselves, spawn new processes mid-reasoning, grow the supervision tree dynamically? I called it Skynet mostly because I thought it was funny. 0xcc.re · 0xcc.re
