You've got a laptop, a credit card, and an opinion about AGI. Time to found your own AI lab. OpenIdle is a satirical idle game about the race to artificial general intelligence โ and the way the finish line keeps politely moving. Found a company in a garage, train a model lineage, hire a workforce, generate hype, and allocate compute, data, and influence as you climb toward a post-AGI prestige loop. Hire, ship, hype, rebalance, and watch the target move with institutional grace. Cross an AGI goalpost and the definition quietly advances. Prestige, refound, and run the same race a little sharper. The numbers go up. The goalposts go further. - Bootstrap an AI lab from a garage to a sprawling research org - Train a model line with a personality โ and opinions - Split compute, data, and influence across competing priorities - Ride market events, generate hype, ship on schedule - Cross AGI goalposts that refuse to hold still - Prestige into a faster, stranger version of the loop All companies and models depicted are fictional. The compute, tokens, alignment budgets, and moving goalposts they abstract are not. The treadmill, as far as we can tell, is perpetual.
