Ethan Mollick prompted Fable 5 to create a visually engaging simulator that demos multiple forms of faster‑than‑light travel drawn from both well-known science fiction and scientific ideas. The resulting interactive tool, hosted at superluminal-ftl.netlify.app, was released with a demo video and publicized on 2026-06-18 as the final one-shot before a Fable interruption.
Ethan Mollick (@emollick) asked an AI (final one-shot prompt before the Fable interruption) to “build me a cool simulation…demo the various forms of FTL travel from both famous works of fiction and scientific speculation,” requesting it be graphically compelling and interesting.
