And then my digital twin decides that I’m an inefficient version of itself, eating too many of its tokens, and generally getting in the way of it living its best life.

I might be missing something here, but could this concept not also be used in the same way for harm? For example if a model is trained to replicated a sucessfull scammer?

> I’ve struggled for years to imagine this, ever since scaling started for real in 2020, and I failed to get productivity out of chatbot-tuned LLMs, with their creatively-stunted endlessly repetitive prose. Instead, while lagging behind on creativity and insight into me, I’ve watched them become ever better at coding and cybersecurity hacking. And the open-weight models are even more so—benchmaxxed, and useless to me.
It sounds like the context is that Gwern is a writer who wants writing assistance, and in 2026, all the AI labs are working on coding. Writing style is much less important when working on code.
Perhaps if at least one AI lab focused on writing style, we would see how much better they can be at writing? I'm not sure it requires a "digital twin."

i'm sure this person is cool but it is insane to have an about me page that is that long, but make me have to click through to patreon to learn what their first and last names are

I think we will need 2 constructs going forward, 3 perhaps, but 2 can be combined. We need a digital twin, to learn along with us and to "train" or build team along with us. The second is the tutor/guardian angel. What our conscience is right now but most of us ignore. The digital twin will learn along us, yes the slow human way. The tutor/guardian angel is the Disney Story of Jimmy the cricket, wise voice steering us in the right direction.

Why digital twins? What about the NetNavis from Megaman, just aligned to the users interests?
