One of the coolest things about this is that Claude in his environment --- without him asking to --- knows how to drive Sprites. If you ask it to run a server, it will register it as a local service so it survives reboots. Without you asking to, it'll checkpoint when it makes big changes. I think this is kind of freaky.

I can't say enough how, if you're using this like Kurt and Chris have been, you have like, a dozen sleeping Sprites in your Sprite list. If you're not doing anything with them, they're not really costing you anything. When you want to do something new, there's no point figuring out which of your existing Sprites to do it on. Just make a new one.

Always having a sane place to run anything I happen to be doing, without making any decisions, it's a weird feeling.

That’s a great demo! For curious mere mortals, are all those custom instructions that make Claude know how to use it public? I’d like to learn how to drive it myself too, just out of curiosity!

Oh no, as someone who hoards browser tabs, I fear where this will lead me...

Do we pay a storage penalty for inactive sprites?
