I used Claude as a dumb intern. Everything written, seen, all the backend design is my work, that I can fully explain. I don't trust AI with any backend architecture decisions or design work. I'll only let it implement. There are about 10 vibe coded slop copies of this game that have no taste🧐

Yeah dev costs are lowkey kicking my butt. I didn't want to turn on ads/cookies so I determined a sponsorship would be the best way forward. I think DDG is fine with AI because they make it easy for you to just turn it off

They're just a sponsor. DuckDuckGo AI is not used anywhere in the game

Yep, DDG was kind enough to sponsor the project and cover development and maintenance costs

Their AI stuff is also just optional. I turn mine off

I don't any of DDG's AI in Anthropeum. They were kind enough to sponsor this project and cover development costs. I personally don't use their Duck AI service either. Just their regular private search

Anthropeum.games regularly has items misattributed with the exact issue you're describing. There were French photographs tied to America, African objects in New York, and Chinese artifacts labeled as United Kingdom.

I think it was likely the .games one. I have curated every single game since release on .com and if I had slipped like this people would riot. I can't do anything about the .games domain ripping off my work while my trademark application processes but that one is a sloppy copy

Matthew @mapoochoo.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Hmmm are you playing anthropeum.games or anthropeum.com? The latter is the real one

There may be similar artifacts, but every object in the game has been unique so far

I'm the creator! I'm a software engineer lol, I find AI too dumb to make serious cultural and engineering decisions- I did use Claude but in the same capacity as an intern to delegate tasks to 👍
