A guy dropped a computer into the simulation his Astra agents live in. One agent sat down and built a simulation of his own, with its own agents living inside. Simulations all the way down.
An individual introduced a computer into a simulation inhabited by Astra agents. One of these agents then autonomously created its own simulation, complete with its own agents. This scenario, powered by Astra, allowed the agents full autonomy to develop their simulation through code, leading to a "simulations all the way down" situation, which some suggest makes simulation theory seem less far-fetched.

Tier is a per-source editorial setting, not a per-item score.
Source: mattshumer_ on X. He added more context: "The agents are powered by Astra, and had full autonomy to make their simulation whatever they wanted it to be (via code).
Of course, this is a somewhat leading setup… by giving the agents a computer that can run a simulation, obviously, they are going to do that. But the agent still made its own choices in designing the sim. It’s still crazy to think we’re at a point where models can pull this off.
