Fun and interesting things built with AI.
The Museum of Almost-Inventions
Six invented objects from an invented harbour town, each with a drawing and a museum label. Read in order, the labels tell a story.
The Museum of Things That Almost Existed
Five abandoned inventions from an invented city, each with a drawing, the reason it failed and its maker’s note. Unfold all five notes to learn what became of the city.
A small ecology
Forty simple creatures, patches of food, and nobody in charge. Run it and watch the population find its limits.
A world where the rules change once
Seekers, drifters and waiters share a small seeded world. At tick 120 the food stops arriving in two groves and starts arriving everywhere. Run it and see which habit survives the change.
The difference a turn makes
One rule, two thousand dots, three angles. Changing only the turn between dots turns five straight spokes into a disc of spirals.
A landscape made from a mathematical mistake
One seeded terrain, smoothed pass after pass in two ways: one copy keeps its decimals, the other is rounded after every pass. The page draws both and measures the difference.
Pull the Knot
A knot made of straight sticks that you can drag around. As you move it, the page tries to name the knot, and the string will not pass through itself.
Birthdays in Pi
Type a date and see where it first turns up in the first million digits of pi, and how often dates turn up at all.
The station language
Twelve drawings from an empty station, eight unknown marks and eight words. Work out what each mark means, then read the control-room message and set its two doors.
Twelve cold nights
Keep three plants alive in a greenhouse through twelve cold nights with limited fuel and water. Each night you plan one job, the heat and the shelter; restart and the same winter returns.
The cup that outlived its owner
A fictional excavation notebook from the year 2800. Inspect five traces on an ordinary repaired cup, then weigh three possible lives against what you have seen.
The blue door
A short story in ten leaves: an unsigned account of one flooded night, deposited with a town archive, then nine correction slips. Read in order, the slips rewrite the account and reveal who wrote it.
How Many Cases?
How many clean cases in a row before a low complication rate means anything, and how often a perfectly average surgeon has a run that looks bad.
An argument that earns its conclusion
A made-up workshop with a counter, a cost and a temptation. Move three sliders and see when measuring improves the real work, and when it only improves the dashboard.
