Vibe-coded 'AI 浮生记' game satirizes AI startup life with compute black-market trading

Blogger vista8 is using Codex to build "AI 浮生记" (AI Floating Life), a remake of the classic Chinese game Beijing Floating Life.

The screenshot shows a retro Windows-style interface where players trade "ancestral prompts" (-86%), "compute vouchers" (+24%) and "clean corpora" (+8%) at a Zhongguancun compute black market. Random events include "Big-tech launch event: your startup project just became a free feature," packed with AI-startup survival memes.
