I wanted to parody where AI seems to be heading. You start as a manual inference unit pressing a button for the next token, then systems take over; agents, sub-agents, approvals, swarms. It’s Universal Paperclips for the agentic AI era, and a small exploration of where predicting the next token might eventually take us. What’s the worst that could happen?

    Thank you! I tried to pay homage to where the device at hand has come from. BeOS and PalmOS

Your site hijacks the back button and makes it damn near impossible to leave. This is extremely bad behavior, don't do that.
