My first run: I deliberately buy every option that hurts alignment with the goal of killing humanity. Eventually I run out of alignment-harming stuff to buy, and everything else helps so much that around 2080 I have a human population of 14 million.
Second run ('cause I clicked the universal jump engine by accident): I deliberately hold off on AI upgrades unless I can keep alignment high. At 2080, AI is out-earning humanity but very stupid and humanity is only at 586 million.
(Also, why does the population start off so low? Do you know something that I don't?)
EDIT: I bought all the alignment upgrades on the second run. I don't entirely understand how threatening to nuke countries that research AI improves alignment when I'm already running GPT-5 on millions of GPUs
- jepler 3y agoThe initial population is "the US", not "the world". yeah a warning about 'universal jump engine' would be good.
- admaiora 3y agoI had no idea what it is but kinda ruined the mood for me when the game reset
- tl 3y agoTried systematically buying every alignment minus. Getting all of them yields "Nanobot light sphere consumes earth" which sets human population to zero. You must have accidentally bought an alignment bonus.
- kmeisthax 3y agoTried a second time and yes I have successfully eaten humanity. Colonizing Mars didn't save anyone. Oddly enough I can still buy alignment upgrades (to WHAT?!) and GPUs (from WHOM!?). And the penalty for being eaten by nanobots is not -100% humans, it's -1B humans. So presumably if you overpopulate before you misalign you can survive the nanobots.
