Loving this. One second of war and offsetting co2 emissions by buying you a Tesla are my favorites.
I wonder what a good UI is for a website like this. I was thinking maybe infinite scroll would work well for a more museum-like experience.
I'm working on a cookie clicker style web game that's secretly about AI safety: https://preview.mancato.nl/clean
My primary goal is to make a game that's fun. Secondary goal is to make you experience why an AI might do things you don't expect. Specifically, to further instrumental goals like collecting resources, refusing being turned off, things of that nature.
There are two endings currently but I'm working on adding some more.
I made a short web game where you are an office worker with imposter syndrome working your way up the career ladder. The goal is not to get found out as an imposter. It's made using LLMs so please expect hallucinations/weird formatting/duplicate responses and other quirks.
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback.
Your point regarding the game being lame is fair. Though as you probably realized as well, the intent wasn't to make the most fun game, but to get people to think about the animal industry.
I could try making it more of a game however I expect the message won't be as clear.
I made a short, tongue-in-cheek choose your own adventure game about being the CEO of an animal products company.
Maybe there's just no Dutch translation? I just put it at the top. Restarted Chrome but the page is still in English.
Maybe it doesn't recognize my language settings but it'd be nice if your website would be in my local language to show off that it works.
Thank you for the feedback. I'm still looking for the right tone and length since I want it to be factual and understandable yet also as concise as possible. I'll have another look to see if I can improve it.
Makes me think of adding a big quote + Tweet this element to the page. E.g:
"I could die right now and Shell could continue operating for 6 seconds longer with the carbon I saved"
- Tweet thisThough maybe a bit too on the nose haha.
I've been trying to work on things that aren't necessarily economically valuable but that are on my mind and I want to share.
For example, a carbon footprint calculator that pokes fun at the idea of the individual being to blame for climate change. https://a.mancato.nl/climate-calculator
And after seeing my dad struggle to find stuff online because he was seeing so many ads, I made an adblocker ad. https://a.mancato.nl/adblock
I was fed up with long, search-optimized introductions for online recipes and decided to make a page with recipes that have infinite introductions:
It uses WebLLM so I don't have to pay/send data to an AI provider.
