Truman World: an infinite AI-simulated livestream
- A persistent AI world engine streams a simulated world where every character is an independent agent: they remember, interact, evolve relationships, and follow basic physics and causality
- Truman doesn't know he's in a show; viewers can prompt-change people, events, and objects around him — but not his thoughts
- No fixed script; agents decide what happens next, and every interaction can redirect the world
- The stream is audience-powered: starts with an 8-hour timer, each $5 spent adds 60 seconds
Tech stack cited: GPT-6 Astra and MiniMax H3 Max Director via fal. The hook: will Truman ever realize he's in an AI simulation?
