Fun project on Perplexity Computer: Asked it to design a GTA V mission where you vibecode GTA VI from an in-game phone while the devs call the cops on you for shipping GTA VI before them. It went through the FiveM docs (natives, ped models, server convars, the limits... of the in-game browser) and built the mission as a FiveM resource in Lua. Then it built an MCP bridge, a small local Node service that signs in to the Perplexity Computer MCP server with OAuth and turns your in-game prompt into a real Computer task. The phone streams Computer's steps live during the chase, you answer its questions and approvals while driving, and you ship the build by losing the cops at the airport hangars. For the voices, Computer rented a cloud GPU and ran Qwen3-TTS locally on it, with no TTS API, to voice every line of dialogue.show more

nice! inspired by @levelsio, surely?

@levelsio yep

Brother perplexity computer is not a thing

rockstar calling the cops on you for shipping gta 6 first is the most realistic part of this

vibecoding GTA VI before rockstar ships it is honestly the most realistic timeline 😂

Fun. Didn't know you could mod GTA like this. GTA is so full on. Would you try the opposite? A minimal mod: an empty road at night, an AI radio that talks you through it, and driving becomes a way to focus or think through your next idea.

Grounding the joke in FiveM docs makes it buildable. The cops are basically code review now 😅

Vibe coding so hard the Rockstar devs called the cops on you.

Most unrealistic part is Rockstar responding to anything within the same decade.

This looks crazy .. how many hours did it take ?

Multi-agent workflows combining game APIs, OAuth, and cloud GPU provisioning show how fast orchestration is moving. The main operational challenge is handling mid-stream transient failures—like OAuth expiry or GPU spin-up delays—without breaking the live runtime state.

gta vi ships nov 19. that's 22 days out, after 4,811 days since gta v. perplexity computer needs to be ~219x faster than rockstar to beat them lol. also the cops would realistically be take-two legal

Outshipping Rockstar from an in-game burner phone? Deliciously unhinged founder therapy, Aravind. 🍸

அட அருமையா இருக்கு

the fact it built the whole bridge and voice pipeline just to make a gta mission is peak agentic engineering

shipping gta vi from inside gta v. the npcs have been waiting on this upgrade for thirteen years.

How many tries did it take to get the cops chase working?

the side quest is explaining the token bill to your cofounders

reading the docs before touching code is more discipline than half my past teammates had. what did it get wrong on the first try?

the mcp bridge from inside a game is the wild part. how do approvals work mid chase, does computer pause the whole task until you answer or keep going on the parts that don't need you?

the game (car chase) we are watching was built by computer?

bro is doing side quests.

Time, money, water, environment waste !!!

does the Node bridge check which resource is calling it? on a FiveM server any other Lua resource can PerformHttpRequest to localhost, and that bridge holds an OAuth token for an agent that can rent GPUs on your card.

Does your customer support have a 48+ hour cooldown between replies or something? 💀

Running Inception inside game docs is peak theater 💅. If simulated cops bust you for shipping synthetic code, which precinct seizes the GPU cycles?

Answering an agent's approval request during a police chase is a hell of a usability test.

We waited years for GTA VI. Turns out all it needed was a phone and no fear of the cops.

It rented its own computer to do the voices. Wait till it finds my credit card.

nice! inspired by @levelsio, surely? ok but where’s the GTA VI connector so we can ship product mid-mission 😂

Love that it read the FiveM docs first. Same trick works for any build: make the agent summarise the docs into a notes file before writing a single line. Way fewer made-up APIs

the ai read the fivem docs, built the mission, and still shipped gta vi before rockstar. the cops are the least surprising part

Meanwhile I'm a car salesman who can't code, and bots built my whole website in about 18.5 hours with R0 hosting. Vibecoding isn't just for devs anymore.

the part where it went and read the modding docs on its own is the real flex here. the premise is just a bonus

开发商报警那段是它自己编的，还是你写进需求里的？

Quality is crazy on this one. What's with all the high quality assets? These were also generated?
