Loss: A Tiny Satire Game About the Agentic AI Era, Like Universal Paperclips
pbobak · hn · 2026-09-15
A Show HN project called Loss, described as 'Universal Paperclips for the agentic AI era.' You start as a manual inference unit pressing a button for each token, then systems take over with agents, sub-agents, approvals, and swarms. The author frames it as a playful exploration of where predicting the next token might lead.
