Show HN: My party game where AI decides if you’re funny (playsnatched.com)

Snatched Party is a alien themed party game you can play for free in the browser with your friends or LLM powered game characters.


Indeed, quite fun! I tried to lure some agents about a secret mission, but they didn't want to go on a goose hunt and shot me. But one dude actually wanted free beer and hot dogs (as long as they weren't vegan and no mayo).

Nice work!


You Dont Know Jack remix for sure


I convinced one woman to follow me (she said Lead the way) and then she walked off.


You got hit with the classic anti-scammer technique of “go along until you see a chance to make a run for it”.


That was actually pretty fun!


How do these AI games work in terms of costs? Do you need to bring your own API key or is the cost of computing AI responses subsidized somehow?


The party game is meh, but the alien abduction is amazing. Managed to snatch all the people and it’s too bad there is no level 2.

If it was a full game, I’d buy it on steam! Perhaps you could apply to the Steam Greenlight?


Greenlight has not been a thing for 7 years or so, you can just pay a fee and publish your game.


Ah ok :) Still - I’d fund this game on kickstarter or wherever, to see it polished more.


This is so dystopian


This is some cursed shit. "Dance for the computer, it will judge you".

It reminds me of the npc streaming from a while back. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/npc-streaming


This happens a lot and it's really weird. Google had a Gemini stand at Supercomputing, the best thing they could figure out to demo their vision abilities was to have you male lego robots and have the AI judge them.

Like, why is that fun? Would it be fun if the judge was a human? And is that all AI can contribute, arbitrary value judgements that we'll find humorous?


I saw that booth, it was pathetic.


> Dance for the computer, it will judge you

Those games are wildly popular!

In fact, being judged by the computer is a favorite way for many people to spend their time.


Which games are you referring to?

All the ones I've seen (Dance Dance Revolution, Dance Evolution and the like) aren't judged subjectively, but are objective. Your foot either stepped on the foot pad at the specified time or not. Your arms were either in the right spot at the right time or not. It doesn't "judge" anything.


I agree. With the algorithms that things like "Dance Central" used, it wasn't that bad, because people knew it was just a bad algorithm.

With this, though, some people will think that it really is funny if the computer thinks it's funny, and they'll target that.

If you think things like Skibidi Toilet are ridiculous, just wait until people are trying to please a flawed LLM, and then spreading it to the world.


Case in point, Elon Musk thinking Grok thinking he's cool means he's cool, lol.


"Two models walk into a bar..."


"Show me what you got"


This was super fun! Weirdly, it was harder to play with Elvis and Trump than it was with Stalin. Too bad the game finishes once you convince everyone.

I'm quite surprised by the smoothness tho - considering it's a browser based 3D game using TTS and LLM's, the experience is great!


If you use racist terminology, it actually picks it as the winning answers

I think that's because the Internet sucks, and LLMs are trained on that crap. For example, I notice that almost every time a professional female comedian posts anything on social media, the comments are filled with guys saying "that's not funny" or "no women are funny", even for women who regularly sell out large venues on their tours. If you inject all that as training data of course your model is going to "believe" the same thing.


I think this might be related to AI's difficulty related to contextualization. If I imagine Chris Rock or Kat Williams delivering these lines it almost works.


Welcome to 2024, where we somehow managed to fuck up society so hard that racial slurs are "based" and funny.


Look up minstrel shows, society has been like this for basically forever.


I think if they weren't a taboo in the first place, saying them wouldn't be funny.


Was racism taboo when minstrel shows were popular? I don’t think it was…

There definitely are jokes that play with taboo subjects and derive the comedy from the sudden shock of the taboo thing. But other times people seem to just want to engage in the taboo for its own sake.

How much I hate FortiGuard.


I don't go into the office often, but when I do, I'm always frustrated that I have to turn off my VPN (which is just to connect to my Jellyfin server back at home) and randomly have my internet throttled during large downloads.

IMO, anything that needs to be secured on-site should be airgapped anyways, and treat your LAN/WAN as if it's a public access point.


One of my homeserver domains is blocked by the same firewall because of "Meaningless Content" :)))) My jellyfin domain works though.


D'ya like dags?


Are the WineHQ forums also blocked due to alcohol?


I get depressed enough when people tell me I'm not funny...

If you aren’t interested in the post, what compelled you to click into the comments and tell everyone about it instead of just ignoring it?


"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

"I'm going to just go ahead and say 'based', entirely on the premise, thank you."

Is how I initially read this.


The sentence is missing a load bearing comma!


would it entice you more to know that it wants to turn on your microphone?


Works without, although the "conversations" are somehow quite depressing.
