Fleeting fakes meetings with synthetic audio and calendar invites
What happened
On October 9, Hacker News' front page covered Fleeting, a tool that plays background audio of a fictional meeting so people nearby think the user is in a call. It also creates fake meeting calendar invites. Each meeting runs about twelve minutes and starts at a random point; when the user exits, other participants say goodbye, or the next meeting can start automatically. All voices are synthetic, and the visuals use AI-generated faces or licensed footage. Invites are generated in the browser with no data sent to a site; users can download an .ics file or add it to Google Calendar or Outlook.

Fleeting 播放虚构会议的背景音频，让附近的人以为用户正在开会，并支持创建假会议日历邀请。每段会议约十二分钟，从随机位置开始播放，退出时其他参与者会道别，也可自动衔接下一场会议。所有声音均为合成，画面使用 AI 生成的人脸或授权素材；日历邀请在浏览器内生成，不向网站发送信息，可下载 .ics 或添加到 Google Calendar、Outlook。
