I created this project out of frustration—too many opinions, not enough facts about the U.S. economy. I wanted a way to model economic systems using math, minimizing emotion and bias as much as possible.
At the same time, I needed a way to explain my findings clearly. And, let's be honest—I also wanted an excuse to try out Grok, having already experimented with ChatGPT and Meta's AI models as well as coauoring server of these AI courses https://alta3.com/courses?&category=AI&search
After testing eight different ideas with Grok, I finally settled on an approach and asked it to generate a basic economic simulator. I was inspired by Elon Musk's demo, where he got Grok to create an Asteroids-style game from a single prompt—so I challenged Grok to write an economy simulator that runs entirely in the browser.
Why only in the browser?
- Privacy: No one has to worry about their data being stored or analyzed by a server—it's all local.
- Accessibility: No installs, no backend dependencies—just open a browser and run the simulation.
To my surprise, Grok nailed it on the first try—the initial version "just worked." I kept refining it, prompting Grok to add features and tweak the logic. This repo is the result of that iterative process.
