Hi HN! ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and I are launching Two Truths and a Twist, a new kind of trivia game played entirely inside a large language model, leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to manage game state.<p>Each round, the AI game master presents you with three statements. Two are accurate facts, and one is subtly twisted. Your challenge is to spot the twist.<p>Why build trivia inside an AI?<p>* Topical Trivia: The game generates rounds based on today's news or recent events—something traditional trivia games can't match.<p>* Infinite Categories: Chocolate trivia, programming languages, obscure historical events. There are no predefined categories, and almost no limits to the quiz master's knowledge. If it's on the internet, it's fair game.<p>* Multilingual Play: Easily playable in multiple languages. Want to play in Hindi, Spanish, or Japanese? No problem.<p>(ChatGPT wrote that section and she was super excited about some of those things.)<p>We made this as a proof-of-concept for "model-native" apps -- software that exists completely inside AI models.<p>We'd love your thoughts, feedback, and questions!<p>Try it out: <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~moorkh/TwoTruthsAndATwist" rel="nofollow">https://git.sr.ht/~moorkh/TwoTruthsAndATwist</a>
This is the quiz Claude created about Hacker News:<p>Question: What's interesting about Hacker News?<p>1. Hacker News was created by Paul Graham in February 2007, initially called "Startup News" or "News.YC" before receiving its current name on August 14, 2007.<p>2. Hacker News users need to accumulate 501 "karma" points before they're allowed to downvote content, as part of measures to prevent the "Eternal September" phenomenon.<p>3. Hacker News was designed as a collaborative project between Y Combinator and Reddit, with Reddit co-founders helping develop the initial moderation algorithms.<p>Which statement do you think is the twist?
