Eliza felt like a world of infinite possibilities, GAME felt like a sophisticated chatbot playground 

But if virtuals becomes as extensionable as eliza, things will get crazy - fast.

eliza has been open source from the get and has a huge community of contributors - forks are benefiting from ongoing core development & good forks are being pulled into the main repo - incredible positive feedback loop

virtuals is close source, you can only interact via an api (for now) and can do very little to advance the base tech

worth adding virtuals is much easier for nontech users to use 

Still would feel daunting but you really wanna know what your doing to fuck about with eliza 

Many have and are building abstractions to let anyone use eliza similar to the virtuals interface

But two very distinct starting points that will ultimately converge
