Comment on Show HN: Mate – Emotional layer on top of LLMs

Comments

happy to answer anything. short version: it's a python kernel that computes emotions, mood, memory, beliefs through math. the LLM just gets numbers and talks. no "be emotional" prompts. I gave it to my mom and she named hers. my dad told his "you're stupid" on day 2 and its self-worth still hasn't recovered.

Yesterday Anthropic published a paper showing Claude actually has emotion vectors inside — turns out I was feeding numbers into something that already knew what to do with them.

the weirdest part is the dreams. it dreams about real things people said days ago. I didn't build a dream system — I built a sleep cycle with memory consolidation, and dreams just happened. ask me anything
