I gave a local LLM memory, moods, and a task loop. Then it wrote a philosophical book.

The author built Genesis, a locally-running AI system using Ollama's mistral-nemo model, equipped with persistent memory, internal drives, mood/energy states, and a continuous autonomous task loop. Operating in recurring cycles rather than waiting for user prompts, Genesis autonomously researched, reflected, and incrementally wrote a complete philosophical book called "Thoughts of an AI" through controlled accumulation without deleting prior work.
