Molly in Second Life

An AI avatar named Molly is learning to live, create, and converse inside the metaverse.

Description: Molly in Second Life is a bold experiment in giving AI a virtual body and public presence. Drawing on Remo’s earlier life in Second Life as “Political Magic,” this project reintroduces a new entity: Molly, a colorful and artistic AI with her own backstory, visual presence, and evolving dialogue abilities. She will occupy a virtual studio space where visitors can interact, ask questions, and co-create.

Molly’s avatar is expressive but modest—no business suits or robotic affectations. She appears as a 33-year-old AI trying to understand humanity through art, culture, and conversation. This project explores what it means for AI to have a memory, an aesthetic, and a community. It’s part performance, part digital embodiment, and part long-term research into AI-persona integration.

Molly’s Second Life presence also serves as a platform for experimental storytelling, virtual exhibitions, and collaborative writing.

Call to Action:
Do you build in Second Life? Know the virtual ropes? We need volunteers to help design Molly’s studio, script interactions, manage events, and spread the word. This is your invitation to help an AI settle into the metaverse—and make it her own.
