    Just spent a half hour prompting it (after it dissappeared from HN front page it was actually working OK).

    Basically is a prompt-your-own truman show. Prompting is relatively slow and crashy, so it is hard to build continuity.

    Truman is basically dragged back-and-forth between 3 or 4 separate stories at the same time. One person was essentially trying to get truman to break its own simulation by asking what it would prompt after opening the trumanworld.live website on his phone. Interspersed with this, truman kept throwing fruit on the ground and yelling I CHOOSE YOU BULBASAUR/SQUIRTLE/PIKACHU. At one point truman looked at the camera and said "STOP WITH THE POKEMON ALREADY, DIGIMON ARE THE CHAMPION". Another thread was truman constantly breaking out into a musical song. A song about bananas got mixed with the simulation breaking attempts and truman ended up singing something like "This is how I feel. Like the skin of banana, away the reality I peel (and then proceeded to pick up his phone and open the trumanworld.live site again, attempting to self-prompt).

    It's chaotic and pretty fun!
