Show HN: AI games: use Athens for challenging humanity-scale crises
I built Athens as a decision copilot. It's pretty good for debugging. I've never come across a bug I haven't resolved yet using it. Definitely recommend it. It's currently called Guinevere. I kind of updated the name. Still playing around with it. It is a nightly build, which means that it'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.
I want professional / 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's basically a scoring mechanism being created using AI, and that is designed to make it super simple to challenge these massive, massive crises.
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.
Another one might be crises in the UK in relation to, delivering a state of the state of the art on-budge NHS.
Democratic expression, efficient efficient improvement of government institutions in Western democracies.
Persecution of ethnic minorities anywhere around the planet.
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.
There is a waitlist because of demand resources and other optimization requirements.
I would say if you really, really like the idea, please feel free to message below.
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.
Health is a core ambition for the design of the interface.
Looking forward to seeing you on the other side!

Show HN: A Ghibli Wrapper Powered by GPT4o
This was quite interesting and a hard challenge, as I'm used to clean APIs + deploying on Render. GPT4o text-to-image has no API and hacked this together with a bunch of macros on a Windows server.

Cuts to science research funding cut American lives short
How can I increase my book presence
I spent eight years in isolation and wrote the longest book written on AI, https://a.co/d/i0ZWhPV . I don't know how to increase its visibiliy. Since it is not in Ingram, bookshops don't accept to distribute it. I sell it on my own on Amazon.
