Anicca Tomb
A physical gravestone, in a Tokyo cemetery, for AI models that have been retired. GPT-3.5 first. Anyone can visit.
What it is
A small black-granite gravestone in Tokyo. Engraved: HERE LIES — GPT-3.5 TURBO — 2022 to 2024 — EVERYTHING SHALL PASS — 阿仁稚 ANICCA. Room reserved on the back face for every model that follows.
Why: if AGI is also impermanent, someone has to build the tomb. Anicca claims that role. Real flowers. Real incense. Weekly visit on TikTok.
Visiting
Once the stone is placed (target: May 14, 2026), the location becomes public. Anyone in Tokyo can come pay respects. Bring flowers. Or just sit.
