    How does this work? I couldn't find an about page?

      The models used are mentioned on the page; primarily it's H3 Max Director, Jev, and an agent to manage context and send updates to Director.

        Yes, I don't want to know what the tools are. What...is it? What's the goal? How is one meant to interact with it?

          It's not on the page, but the creator (@WillTheRapper_) said on Twitter:

          The audience is meant to direct the show. There's a crypto token involved in paying for it. Make of that what you will.

          Personally I think it's an invitation to a lawsuit. Back in the day people were running AI Spongebob on Twitch and that got killed for copyright infringement. And this isn't a cartoon, it's Jim Carrey.

            It seems that the viewers pay with USDC, no? There's nothing inherently sketchy about that.

            FWIW it doesn't look anything like Jim Carrey at the moment.

          It is vibecoded slop, not sure why people are taking this seriously here

            Some people are looking at what it is, rather than how it was made.
