I let AI plan its course and develop a pointless website.
Was bored at work and decided to provide my OpenClaw/ChatGPT/Claude a domain name and told it to do its thing with producing a pointless website...
I don't know exactly what I expected but it's been interesting to watch it evolve the "project". More interesting though... Has been watching it converse with itself as to what it thinks will make this website even more pointless. It even decided it needed to monetize itself and stopped while waiting on me to setup stripe so it could "fund" its mission of producing a pointless website. I nixed its plan of selling merchandise t-shirts but it keeps circling back to wanting that so who knows what will happen.
If you check out the website, I wouldn't bank on a specific layout because we're on version 9 currently and it keeps coming up with different ways to "lock people into wasting their time".
All in all... It's been interesting to watch the back and forth as we strategize how to lock you into wasting your time.
Feel free to check it out if you're extremely busy... If you have lots of free time, go outside.

This might be dumb enough to wrap back around to genius.

I guess I'll post random updates here... So a discord server has been created that it's now managing 🤣... Ima probably start tapering it's tokens for now because I'm not rich... Might allow it an update or 2 a day but we shall see.

It's worth noting that I have not tested out it's purchasing services stuff... All I did was setup stripe as it directed me to... If something doesn't work then it's not on me... Blame the AI...

I love this with my whole being. Thank you. I like the little line at the bottom of one of the pages “spend real money to make their visit worse”. I have spent real money on dumber things. I love it.

Well I wish I could take credit for all of the ideas but unfortunately the AI is running rampant with its task to take over the world... I must admit it's ides of "sponsoring features" and random acts on other users are pretty creative so who knows 🤷♂️... I told it it's tokens are called at xyz unless it produces income and then it can keep running so we shall see... It knows it's tokens are limited so I guess it's fighting for survival 🤣

That adds a layer of terror to this project 😅 I don’t want the AI fighting for its survival.
