For
Players curious about AI-risk satire
Worth noticing
The interface tracks “Paperclips Made” and “Humans Repurposed,” alongside a high-score display.

Field notes

The interface gives players keyboard controls on computers and an on-screen controller on mobile, and asks mobile players to rotate to landscape mode. Beneath it, the page argues for the premise through examples involving trading algorithms, cyber-espionage, bioweapon safeguards, and election deepfakes. Those examples are presented as the site's supporting claims; the extracted page does not establish them independently.
