Devs ship a Trolley Problem game built with Claude Code, jokingly 'in partnership' with Anthropic and OpenAI
ctjlewis · x · 2026-10-01
Developers @onehappyfellow and @devabram launched a tongue-in-cheek web game called "The Trolley Problem": a runaway trolley, an AI with its hand on the lever, and two developers each writing a paragraph arguing why they deserve to live, with a leaderboard and the tagline "Will AGI save you?". Footnotes reveal the joke — the claimed "partnership" with Typesafe, Anthropic and OpenAI was never communicated to any of them, the code was written by Claude Code ("went brrrrr"), and the "AGI judging engine" is "cheap af". A classic vibe-coding meme project.
