Where will AI lead us? An AI-native game that uses URLs (powered by Gemini and Serp api) as exploration material, attempting to simulate real-time social spaces on the New York City subway. Players should choose content that attracts their attention, they can choose up to 5 dialogues, then they will be teleported to somewhere on the internet. The goal of the game is to simulate the attention mechanism of the language Transformer (from ‘Attention is all you need, 2017’). In real life, passengers act as encoders, trying to determine what really needs attention, while AI acts as a decoder, determining the destination (URL) people want to go to. Trying to think about how people’s attention is focused and deprived by the media when attention becomes a scarce resource, and ADHD is prevalent.
