    I do subscribe to his ideas that technological growth is not currently exponential but even steeper

        Technically it is a real video game but yes. Amazing piece of technical work. Sad that the main dev seems to be a bit of chud. (But he now has a ~30 person team).

          i gues we’re all living in the post-scarcity utopia then, because otherwise such growth would exhaust resources.
