Show HN: Life Forge – Open-source flight simulator for autonomous AI agents
Before commercial pilots fly passengers, they spend hundreds of hours in a flight simulator. The simulator doesn't give them sunny skies; it throws dual-engine failure, sudden crosswinds, sensor glitches, and electrical fires at them. Today, enterprise AI agents with tool access (databases, email, financial APIs) are deployed with almost zero dynamic testing: Static Benchmarks Are Useless: MMLU and HumanEval test multiple-choice trivia and leetcode snippets.
