Tiny Gods: An AI Village Experiment

Field notes

Tiny Gods models a small civic system rather than presenting a conventional chatbot: laws can be issued directly or routed through a vote, and time can be advanced against a dashboard of resources, relationships, and village districts. Bellwether Hollow starts with capacity for 50 villagers but no residents, while the page invites conference attendees to create its founding population. Optional AI moments use a host-supplied provider key; the page explicitly warns that local storage is not encrypted.
