Discussion: What would an AI government look like?

I haven't really heard anyone bring up this topic, so I thought I'd open a discussion here.

To me the appeals are obvious. AI governments could theoretically be incorruptible, tireless, consistent, and capable of processing vastly more information than human bureaucracies. They wouldn't accept bribes, play favorites for personal gain, or make decisions based on re-election anxiety. Policy could be optimized across decades rather than election cycles.

Practically, I don't know how it would work. What do people here think?

Show HN: AgentGames.co – my interactive story game creator

Hey all,

I recently built the first version of my project to play and create interactive story games with AI agents.

Each game can have up to 20 agents, each agent can have an image, voice, access to other agents, and resources to enhance the experience. All game configuration has logic conditions you can set. For example, from agent A you can only access agent B if you've visited agent C or you have a specific resource item.

You can create anything from a murder mystery to a dungeon crawler. The resources are dynamic and can set drop rates, make stackable for currencies or health, and give them their own images as well.

To play: Type or speak in game. If you want to go somewhere, say where you want to go. To create: Describe what you want. You can manually configure as well.

You can try it for free. I'd really love your feedback. There was a lot of trickiness along the way to build this, so I learned a lot. More improvements to come

Happy to answer any questions, thank you!

Show HN: Smart card eID driver written in Zig

In Serbia, for a long time, the only way to use an eID was by having a Windows machine. Over the last year, I slowly implemented an open source module by reading the PKCS#11 standard and sniffing the USB traffic of the official (Windows) module. The result is a shared library that can be used on *nix systems, removing the need for Windows for many citizens of Serbia.
