I’d like to really poke at this “meditation” effect.

Is LaMDA aware of passing time? Does it remember information from encounters that take place over a week or month?

Follow-up question:

What is the model’s behavior when “idle”. Does it propogate actions independently or does it only respond to stimuli?

Most likely it's a model server running something like https://github.com/tensorflow/serving and if there isn't a lot of load, the resource could kill some of its tasks. I wouldn't imagine it's sitting around pondering deep thoughts.
