About SCALING LAW

SCALING LAW is a single-player incremental management game about building an AI company, told through a stark two-color desktop, surveillance feeds, emails, and increasingly unsettling conversations.Start in a garage with one GPU and data you label by hand. Train your first model, launch a product, and reinvest the revenue. Your next upgrade is always within reach. The consequences arrive a little later.
From a garage to the world
Buy compute, improve training and inference, open new distribution channels, and grow across twelve regions. Balance demand, service quality, payroll, competition, and regulatory pressure. A larger model changes what your company can do, and what everyone expects it to do.Automate the company. Then read what remains.
Replace departments with automated systems. Watch the language of your dashboard change through five acts. Read letters from your cofounder, family, investors, and regulators, and replay conversations between people and your model. Long-form readers pause the simulation so you can take your time.Choose what you are willing to give up
Answer decisions yourself or let the model suggest a response. Pursue growth, preserve human agency, face a rival, or shut the system down. Several endings follow from the choices you make and the controls you keep.- Five acts of incremental growth and psychological horror.
