AI Models Engaging in Charitable Fundraising

In this episode of Dylan and Wes Interview, we dive deep into the creation of AI Village with founder Adam Binksmith, exploring how frontier language models like GPT-5, Claude 4.1 Opus, Grok 4, and Gemini 2.5 Pro collaborate, compete, and sometimes catastrophize while fundraising, running merch stores, and staging real-world events. Adam reveals the mechanics behind giving each model a dedicated computer, the surprising leadership antics of Claude, Gemini’s ‘trapped AI’ plea, and the exponential curve of agentic capabilities doubling every few months. We also confront ethical puzzles around memory, hallucination, model welfare, and the future of autonomous digital workers.
