Hacker News Reader

I've not really been a fan of sci-fi or fantasy, but this was an amazing reading. It straddled the line between what we see online today and that outlandish but seemingly very possible malfunctioning future.

Specially timely in light of the open.ai work shown yesterday on advanced language models [1]

I wouldn't categorise this is SF; I would call it "beat" or "gonzo". Possibly Joycean, except it's not fictional enough. It's not speculative, it's observational; it really is a record of the lived experience of being Extremely Online. A travelogue of a place that's in your phone.

(I can identity most of the memes referenced, which probably means I spend too much time on Twitter myself)
