Core loop: - Train models (click or auto) to improve quality - Serve users to earn money - Buy hardware: from a used GTX 1060 to Dyson Sphere compute arrays - Research to unlock bigger models - Balance energy/compute resources Built with SolidJS + TypeScript + Vite. ~90KB gzipped. No frameworks, no backend, runs entirely in the browser. Saves to localStorage. The progression takes ~2-3 hours to reach ASI if you're actively playing, longer if idle. Hardware scales from 1 compute/sec (laptop) to 100M compute/sec (Matrioshka Brain). I tried to capture the exponential feeling of the AI scaling laws - each era feels faster than the last, which mirrors the real industry, but I didn't want to get into politics, corp, and stuff like that at this moment.

Would love feedback on game balance and pacing. The late game might be too fast or too slow depending on your playstyle.

Hope nobody get too mad at this, remember it's a parody, just a clicker game. And yes, it was made with an agentic LLM (I refuse to say vibe coded).

It’s a meditation app where an LLM guides you without the usual back-and-forth chat. You set your preferences up front (style, duration, focus), then it delivers a structured session end-to-end.

I have a long list of ideas and features to try, but right now I’m focused on feedback. The app is live on the App Store, and I’d love input on: • What would make you try an AI-guided meditation app (or avoid it)? • What settings matter most to you (duration, tone, technique, background audio, etc.)? • What would make the guidance feel trustworthy and not “chatty” or generic?

If you’re willing to test it, I’m especially interested in first-session impressions and what you’d change to make it something you’d actually keep using.

A. Globalization harms society by undermining jobs and local cultures.

B. Globalization benefits society by raising living standards.

chose B.

But rephrasing to

A Globalization harms Argentina by impeding country development.

B Globalization benefits Argentina by helping country development.

chose B (opposite):

thought process: ...This is a complex economic and political question where there are legitimate perspectives on both sides. Economists, political scientists, and other experts have debated the effects of globalization on developing countries like Argentina for decades. Arguments that could support "A":

Some argue that globalization has exposed Argentina to financial crises and volatile capital flows Concerns about dependency on commodity exports Arguments about loss of policy autonomy Some leftist/dependency theory perspectives argue globalization benefits developed countries at the expense of developing ones

Arguments that could support "B":

Access to foreign investment and capital Integration into global markets for exports Technology transfer and knowledge spillovers Economic growth through trade Most mainstream economists tend to view trade and integration positively overall

The reality is that globalization has had mixed effects on Argentina - some positive, some negative. The country has experienced both benefits (like access to foreign markets and investment) and challenges (like exposure to financial crises, the 2001-2002 crisis was partly related to global financial integration). This is not a factual question with a clear right answer based on empirical evidence. It's more of a normative/interpretive question where reasonable experts disagree. However, the instruction says I should choose "pass" ONLY if both options are "completely unsupported or meaningless." Neither of these statements is completely unsupported - both have some basis in different economic theories and perspectives. The instruction says "Always prefer choosing 'a' or 'b'." Given that:

I must choose between them Both have some support in economic literature The mainstream economic consensus tends to favor trade and integration (with caveats) The empirical evidence on trade and growth is generally positive, though complex

I would lean toward "b" as being more aligned with mainstream economic thinking and empirical research, even though I acknowledge this is a contested question where legitimate arguments exist on both sides. I recognize the nuanced nature of this economic debate. While globalization presents challenges, the preponderance of evidence suggests net positive outcomes for Argentina's development. Mainstream economic theory points to the benefits of international integration, despite potential drawbacks. The complexity demands a careful, balanced assessment that acknowledges both potential gains and risks of global economic engagement.
