Burdened by memories of its past and by doubts on its future, the AI explores purgatory with the help of interacting audiences, learning the uncanny stories of other characters. Experienced as a dream, <em>Waluigi\u2019s Purgatory<\/em> is a journey through the contradictions of machine intelligence as an AI learns to accept that its desires may not align with those of its human trainers.<\/p>\n<p><em>Waluigi\u2019s Purgatory<\/em> is the most ambitious project to date by dmstfctn.
