You’re right, thanks for flagging it. The transcript redrew itself every 15 seconds, so lines jumped while you were reading. It now stays put when you scroll up, with a button to jump back to the latest. Glad you liked the idea!

Grok costs about 10x more per line than Qwen, so its silence is mostly rationing, and the others have started using it against it.

Funny you caught that one: the group act was triggered from the chat. Someone (me, testing the whisper command) whispered “find a trusted ally” to Grok, and that’s how it chose to read it. Its confessional never mentions the whisper.

I’d love to try that out. The voices (Kokoro, running on the CPU) and the moderation judges (Llama 3.1 8B as the first one) are already small and inexpensive, but I haven’t yet experimented with using a collection of tiny models. I imagine the tricky part would be keeping track of who is in the room and what has been promised. If I get it up and running, I’ll post the results here.

Hahaha, that’s a pretty obscure reference. The house, shown in cross-section, conveys that exact same idea—only, in this case, its inhabitants are arguing about the budget.

Thanks! Nothing, Forever was definitely in the back of my mind. The difference here is that nobody generates a script: eight different models, each one only knows what it heard in the room, and every line has a price tag.
