I find myself have nothing to do but scroll on social media endlessly when waiting for AI thinking, especially when "Agentic" AI becomes today's trend and thinking time is getting longer and longer.
So I made this, part of it is inspired by the Thronglets in Black Mirror. The art asset is credited to my wife. Hope you guys enjoy it :)
We know excessive use of social media, being glue to a screen, and having so little down time is bad for mental health. We also know LLMs are unreliable and their output requires verification.
And now we’re making projects for a machine to help us remain distracted while another machine is busy making up garbage. Wouldn’t that time be better spent exploring context so you at least have better information when reviewing the LLM output? Or even just staring out the window and letting thoughts settle?
I understand in the end it’s just a silly game (I assume; it requires logging in so I didn’t even try it) but there is a specific motivation behind it and I believe it’s worth thinking if it is positive. I’m also wondering about the decision of building something based on a show whose premise every episode is “Don’t Create the Torment Nexus” (though I haven’t watched that episode yet).
