Sharing with the community PAYBACK, my initial attempt to distill the complexities of the AI economy into a playable game and business simulator.

I built it after spending some time working on better understanding and forecasting the AI industry, when I realized that there might be some value to creating a simple toy economic model for how the industry works.

While I'm not quite sure the game is at the point where its going to answer everyone's questions about AI, I have learned alot from making it and playing it.

I hope players also learn and provide feedback!

Astra advised and orchestrated a major new version that included enabling every player to set a price in the game. Astra is also designing and advising a major simulation where agents play the game hundreds of thousands of times to create learnings about the economics of the AI build out.
