I'm a game designer who cares deeply about AI safety. I saw the Future of Life Institute's Keep The Future Human contest https://keepthefuturehuman.ai/contest/ and made a browser game.

Feedback welcome.

You start the game running a small research lab, building AI. As you grow, a rival appears and the race kicks in. If you build too slow and they steal your resources. But if you build too fast without alignment, all humans lose (including you). In the late game players may want to take their foot off the pedal and slow down progress, but the world has begun to depend on the wonders you create. The challenge is to thread the needle, create great tech for humanity without ending it all.

Game mechanics draw heavily on the essay Keep The Future Human by Anthony Aguirre, I'm happy to discuss below.

Oh, and don't worry if the UI starts acting weird. As your AI gets more powerful, the game might start misbehaving...

https://TheChoiceBeforeUs.com/17:T443,So having done all the "Hard" binary puzzles (and thinking myself very clever), I wanted to start on the "Very Hard" ones at https://www.binarypuzzle.com/puzzles.php?size=10&level=4&nr=1.

Very quickly getting stuck, I thought I'd try the AI's for inspiration. All four of the LLM's that I tried appeared to understand the puzzle rules but then they all hallucinated, confounded, fluffed and fumbled.

Just goes to show that they are not using logic, just repeating words that they have scraped elsewhere.

This was my prompt:
