Bots, bias, and bunk: How can you tell what's real on the net?

you can, but it's better to use a different model or higher effort level at the very least to do the verifying part. (haven't checked to see what it is they are doing exactly), but doing vulnerability validation with the same model and effort you used to find the vulnerabilities isn't going to be a true second set of eyes and the model will likely always just try and justify it was right in the first place. ime, it's better to start with a fresh, clean context and at the very least a higher effort level on the same model. pass the finding(s) to a model that hasn't seen it before and it will judge it with an unbiased perspective.

Thanks! "Observe" (if used from the toolbar at the top), just means you're watching Blinkys (the player is observing). They might follow your cursor around and just get curious. If you observe too long, it results in neglect, which can reduce their overall health. Generally, it's better to be interacting with them. It's just a default player state when you're not Feeding, Petting, Teaching or Punishing.

When you enable the "Enable Observation", they observe your motion (through your webcam) and will react accordingly. There's a little more detail about the Webcam Observation in the manual :)

---

Webcam Observation

Enabling webcam allows the Blinkys to "see" you through motion detection. They respond to your real-world movement:

Motion is detected by comparing video frames every 100ms

Significant motion (> 30%) triggers awareness in random Blinkys

If collective trust is low (< 0.4), your movement increases their fear

If trust is high, your presence may comfort them

The "THEY ARE WATCHING YOU" indicator appears when Blinkys are aware of your cursor.

The "CAMERA ACCESS GRANTED" warning appears when webcam is active

Privacy Note: Webcam data is processed entirely locally in your browser. No video is transmitted, stored, or sent anywhere. The Blinkys only receive a single motion intensity value (0-1), not actual images. You can disable the camera at any time.

Hi there; NOT compatible or designed with mobile in mind unfortunately. Built more for desktop browser and keyboard (WASD-style movement controls) or trackpad. That, and the maze image generator in its current form requires static dimensions so the pieces can be placed within their chosen coordinates, meaning it displays better on full-sized browser :(

Awesome resource. I recently (in the past week) created a maze game. I used Claude (sonnet 4.5) for the most part, but some things, like images, were created with ChatGPT. I may do a blog about it if anyone is interested in the inner-workings and my thought process from concept to vibecoded. I am by no means a game dev, was just curious about what it would take to create unique single solution mazes with some game-like components thrown in, and trying it with the assistance of AI. It turned out somewhat retro. Now go get lost!

This is amazing. My entire web browser session state for every private and personal website I sign onto every day will be used for training data. It's great! I love this. This is exactly the direction humans should be going in to not self-destruct. The future is looking bright, while the light in our brains dims to eventual darkness. Slowly. Tragically. And for what purpose exactly. So cool.

Could a tardigrade withstand these scenarios? If the answer to any of those is yes, could we then say that even with the parameters skewed a bit, there is a chance life exists elsewhere, and under completely different and extreme or (not "normal") conditions? Is the tardigrade here as a "clue" to tell us that life could form potentially anywhere?
