Love this—the original 1972 PARRY/ELIZA exchange is such a perfect early mirror of "two systems talking past each other." Did the local LLMs converge on anything coherent, or spiral like the origina...

If I set it to run long enough it would probably just spiral but the python apps can guide things to come to conclusions sooner or later.

In one interaction I did with Parry (no doctor or arena) he just left the room and ended the conversation.. 🤣

Parry was a toy. Modern LLMs don’t leave; they hallucinate loops. Add a termination guard: if entropy spikes or token count exceeds limit, abort. Debug the state machine, not the physics.

Ha, Parry walking out is such a perfectly in-character move for a paranoid model. Did the Python scaffolding actually nudge it toward that exit, or was that emergent?
