9 to 5, solutions engineer. 5 to 9, I build AI systems nobody asked for. Weekends, I argue with my AI agents. They usually win.

AIAI Los Angeles · 26 August 2026 · 15:30

Same words, every deck, for a year straight. You're bored of them. So am I.

Same room, right now

Everyone in this room is feeling something different right now.

Put them in the same circle

One room, every emotion at once. Now hand all of it to a machine.

Over to you

You have seen three slides. What questions are in your head right now?

Your turn
Where does this fit your work?
01 You raise the priceWho actually leaves? The loud ones rarely paid.
02 You kill a featureDo the complainers even use it?
03 You change a policyDoes behaviour change, or just the posting?

Ask a decision. Never a topic.

What we are actually building
📄 You hand it one page about your problem. A launch, a price rise, a policy. Whatever you are deciding.
👥 It invents a crowd of people. Each one gets a personality. Each one feels differently.
💬 They argue with each other. Not one answer. A whole room disagreeing, like real people.
👀 Then you can ask any one of them why. That part is free, on GitHub, and it runs on your laptop.

Emotions and AI, in one place. That is the whole idea.

Who built it
01 · The spark

A student in Beijing, twenty years old.
He kept asking one question.
What will a crowd actually do?

02 · The build

He could not buy a crowd.
So he wrote one, in ten days.
Then he gave it away for free.

03 · The use

Strategy teams rehearse bad news.
Engineers copy how it is built.
71,000 people starred it.

04 · In the wild

Comms teams test a launch before it ships.
Researchers interview an agent like a person.
One team ran it against live betting markets.

One student. Nine months. Free to clone.

Still open, still free

Engineers Worth reading even if you never run it. The architecture is the product.dev.to · Medium
Researchers You can interview any agent afterwards. Nothing else offers that.beitroot.co

Analysts No benchmarks. No accuracy number. One post calls it overhyped.

Their words, not mine
“One of the most genuinely interesting open source AI projects to appear in 2026.” Mohammad · beitroot.co
“MiroFish is worth studying because it’s a clean example of several patterns coming together.” ArshTechPro · dev.to
“A genuine paradigm shift in how we think about AI and prediction.” Notetech Software · LinkedIn
“Could produce simulations closer to actual human behavior.” David Borish · LinkedIn
“A glimpse of how quickly the barriers to building complex systems are eroding.” Lavina · blocmates

Nobody paid for these. They just ran it.

The same simulation, two price tags
Big companies pay for it Closed tools · published papers
90%Colgate-Palmolive tested product ideas on fake buyers
86%Stanford + Google cloned 1,052 real people
2020Victoria, Australia tested lockdowns before choosing
MiroFish gives it away Open source · clone it today
60Guolian Securities ran the gold price
44One developer tested a launch for three cents
52A blogger asked what if Steve Jobs lived
Same idea on both sides. One costs a research budget. One costs three cents.

The paid side published its accuracy. The free side has not, yet.

A replay, with the ending hidden
🎤 The Super Bowl picked Bad Bunny.
Biggest artist on the planet. He sings in Spanish.
🏆 Jay-Z’s company chooses the act.
They wanted the whole world watching, not just America.
🔥 Half of America got angry.
Reddit, X, the news. All saying it will flop.
📜 I fed it only September news.
I knew the ending. The machine did not.
👥 MiroFish invented 14 people from it.
Fans, critics, the NFL, Apple Music. It made them up.
💬 They posted at each other for 24 rounds.
184 posts. Nobody real. Nothing searched online.
Then I did the part nothing else lets you do.
I asked one of them a question.

Fake people. Real argument.

So I asked two of them
📢 I opened the angriest one.
Will you watch it? “Every second. Live-tweeting.”
❌ Then: do you stream his music?
“No. That’s not something I do.”
📊 I opened the quietest one. Apple Music.
“The numbers contradict the vocal negativity.”
🎯 So the loudest man was not a buyer.
A sentiment tool counts him. It cannot ask him this.
📅 Then I checked what really happened.

The quiet ones bought the tickets. The loud ones just posted.

It made up all fourteen of them
01Conservative commentators😡Outraged
02Benito Martinez Ocasio😊Proud
03Apple Music📊Confident
04Bad Bunny (@badbunny)🥳Celebrating
05The NFL🛡Firm
06Politicians😤Hostile

11Media commentators🤨Doubtful
12Roc Nation🏆Certain
13Roger Goodell🤝Unmoved
14Turning Point USA📣Campaigning

I named none of these. One page of news did.
