  • Hacker News
  • Looks jenky and cannot handle the traffic. Neat idea having a public-facing AI-agent observability panel wrapped around participatory improv fiction
  • Just spent a half hour prompting it (after it dissappeared from HN front page it was actually working OK).

    Basically is a prompt-your-own truman show. Prompting is relatively slow and crashy, so it is hard to build continuity.

    Truman is basically dragged back-and-forth between 3 or 4 separate stories at the same time. One person was essentially trying to get truman to break its own simulation by asking what it would prompt after opening the trumanworld.live website on his phone. Interspersed with this, truman kept throwing fruit on the ground and yelling I CHOOSE YOU BULBASAUR/SQUIRTLE/PIKACHU. At one point truman looked at the camera and said "STOP WITH THE POKEMON ALREADY, DIGIMON ARE THE CHAMPION". Another thread was truman constantly breaking out into a musical song. A song about bananas got mixed with the simulation breaking attempts and truman ended up singing something like "This is how I feel. Like the skin of banana, away the reality I peel (and then proceeded to pick up his phone and open the trumanworld.live site again, attempting to self-prompt).

    It's chaotic and pretty fun!

  • The star of the show is H3 Max Director [1], which lets you get a pseudo realtime WebRTC video feed which you can control with JSON messages.

    The model is quite impressive, though obviously it depends a lot on what you're doing. But you can literally just type whatever you want and it will reasonably happen a few seconds later. Logical continuity is not included; attempting to maintain continuity is probably the bulk of the work for this experiment.

    If you want to try your own version, you can vibe code an interface on top of the fal API in a few minutes, it is coding agent friendly.

    Keep in mind it's super expensive; per list pricing (at least on fal), it costs $5/min to run, and the minimum is 1 minute.

  • Error proxying request to container: There are more than 4096 concurrent connections inbound to the container, surpassing the limit
  • This is really something. Well done. This is the future, albeit a bit rudimentary, but you just made me realize a few things.

    In 10 years, the world will be very different, in 20 - unrecognizable.

  • Truman looked down the street where an explosion occurred, then a shadowy figure came out of the smoke, approached down the road, ran into truman and then past him and accosted an indian man in a turban. They threw blows until an identical clone of the indian in a turban tackled the shadowy man to the rear of the frame. The first Indian man was handed a white monster energy drink. He took a sip. He immediately tranformed into Truman with glowing blue eyes. Truman was visibly confused and started saying garbled words like "what did you givrm." "I can feel the mermegh"

    Then hugged to death.
