vista8 released the first version of "AI 浮生记", a parody of the classic Chinese game "北京浮生记", written with Codex and open-sourced with a playable web version.

The game is packed with AI-industry in-jokes: event cards like "price squeeze — at acceptance the client says 'doesn't AI do this in one click?' and cuts 40% of the final payment" and "you finally understood RAG vs Agent vs MCP; next week they're renamed again"; a market where you trade "beta invite codes", "Claude carpooling seats", "used GPU cards" and "humanoid robots"; news items like "another ban wave — carpool group admins rename overnight". Pixel-art life-sim satire of AI worker daily life.
