All birds are government drones who's job is to surveil you, as per @yegor
I built a full 3D model of Toronto drawn as a living comic book, in bold ink lines, pastel cel shading and halftone dots, and turned it into bird GTA simulator (pun intended). The objective is to play the role of a robotic pigeon and go on various missions, or just free fly and tting with your handler.
The scope of this project grew to be... pretty massive. The whole playable area is 630 square km (that's about 9x more than the GTA5 map), fully 3D - you can fly everywhere, and walk every street. Here are some stats from the project, and a video of me just messing around.
- 438,819 real buildings, with heights from the City’s 3D data
- About 5,700 km of real streets, with lanes, sidewalks and speed limits
- No external assets of any kind
- Procedural dialogue: handler and pedestrians react based on who they are, where they are and what just happened
- On-device neural voices, synthesized live in the browser
- 3,237 named places: parks, stations, squares and landmarks, with spoken facts (you just might learn something)
- Real-time air traffic: the actual planes over Toronto, live from ADSB
- A 4.7-million-point terrain grid, Lake Ontario shoreline included
- A living city: traffic, pedestrians, flocks, boats, weather, day/night, encampments, protest marches, buskers, rush-hour traffic, Waymos and more
- Packed with random missions, and hidden easter eggs
- About 165,000 lines of JavaScript, no game engine
- Built in 7 days by up to 10 parallel AI workstreams
- 35,218 Claude model calls and 41,495 tool calls
39M output tokens and 11.6B tokens of context processed
If you live in Toronto, fly to your neighborhood (Fast Deploy via map), and I'd love your feedback so I can improve realism. Given the massive scope of the map, I didn't experience 99% of places in the game personally.

My pronouns are mostly TCP/IP, and just UDP when I'm feeling cute (which is often btw).

I actually work here, just helping out while our socials guy is off.
Here’s something we just released: AI agents can now buy Windscribe Pro with USDC on Base via x402, all with a single prompt.
Humans can too.
No account. No email. No credit card.

Today is US midterms. You can vote without ID in a quarter of US states. You can’t access large parts of the internet without ID verification. One of those is treated as a feature. The other is what VPNs are for.

Normal socials guy is away for the next 10 days. Last time this happened, the intern ran on a single RTX PRO 6000. That clearly wasn't enough, so we're stepping up the game.

The AUDACITY.
You already HAVE the world's supply of RAM. Spinning hard drives have almost tripled in price thanks to datacenters but yea, sure, it's MY fault for wanting a crumb of RAM for my PC.
Fuck off Sam.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead.
"From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

At this rate, you'll need a full digital ID linked to all your online activity just to access the internet.
Governments are VERY quickly building the frameworks to make sure you don't have online freedoms.

🚨BREAKING: All Britons may need ID to use social media, the UK's online safety regulator today announces
“This plan for a government ‘social media ban’ is a national ID system by the back door.
Both the government and Ofcom have admitted that children will get around the ban, fect will be normalising adults and children alike to hand over their passports just to get online.
Hundreds of thousands of people without ID, who tend to be poorer people, and many more who don’t want to risk handing their passports over to foreign tech companies will be locked out of huge parts of the internet.
The plan will kill anonymity online, whilst the UK’s culture of speech policing is reaching a crisis point. The policy is painfully misguided, an Orwellian assault on free speech and privacy, and will make children no safer at all.
The false illusion that children aren’t on social media will cause the companies to abandon all their child safety measures. The Government could be promoting meaningful safety measures and supporting parental controls that genuinely protect children - instead, they’re demanding government ID from the whole population just for uncensored internet access. It is authoritarian madness.”
