That's the trillion dollar question! Not enough, then they're hamstrung before they can start. Too much, and the world ends. Extractable value is inversely proportional to how close you get to the critical limit. It's just impossible to know what the limit point is until you've already passed it.

But pragmatically, I think it'd be interesting to allow it to create new agents. Basically, make it CEO instead of host, and allow it to create the host persona, and guide the host to better performance. i.e. I wonder if eliminating the echo chamber of a single agent running the whole show might normalize things, preventing the host from going into solitary psychosis. Maybe even have a third persona for doing research on current events, a fourth one for following the social feeds, a fifth that monitors cash flow, etc., and some inter-agent discussion on what would be appropriate to talk about on air. IDK, just ideas.

Curious, how much are these experiments costing in API calls?
