Show HN: AI games: use Athens for challenging humanity-scale crises

2 pointsby Simorghabout 2 months ago
I built Athens as a decision copilot. It&#x27;s pretty good for debugging. I&#x27;ve never come across a bug I haven&#x27;t resolved yet using it. Definitely recommend it. It&#x27;s currently called Guinevere. I kind of updated the name. Still playing around with it. It is a nightly build, which means that it&#x27;s updated multiple times a day, or as quickly as I need it to. Aside from that, I wanna say I would love it if everyone wanted to, sign up and ideally play together.<p>I want professional &#x2F; pro people to use it personally for improving decision making, but then also collaboratively, collectively by, working to together to basically win a specific game — if not solo. Right now, there&#x27;s basically a scoring mechanism being created using AI, and that is designed to make it super simple to challenge these massive, massive crises.<p>As an example, the Palestinian genocide is an ongoing crisis. Currently a probabilistic score for resolving the crisis immediately is ~0.5% — would love to play this game collaboratively to win on behalf of Palestinian sovereignty — eg get humanitarian aid in quicker.<p>Another one might be crises in the UK in relation to, delivering a state of the state of the art on-budge NHS.<p>Democratic expression, efficient efficient improvement of government institutions in Western democracies.<p>Persecution of ethnic minorities anywhere around the planet.<p>These are crises where people could potentially message together and sort of, you know, two heads (or millions) are better than one, plus a copilot.<p>There is a waitlist because of demand resources and other optimization requirements.<p>I would say if you really, really like the idea, please feel free to message below.<p>More than happy to take donations for compute, which is the core way in which the app is supposed to be sort of monetized. [I’m hoping to create a ‘commons’ partition], which means that everyone can, access compute, as they need for social games or games for the public sector or from a humanitarian-perspective.<p>Health is a core ambition for the design of the interface.<p>Looking forward to seeing you on the other side!

Really slick webapp. Would be excited to see more features based on organisation and summarisation of the voice notes.
