I couldn't read it. With all emojis involved it reads like a long, obnoxious text message from an unstable gen-z.

Checked the author, author's tweeter account, looks legitimate (not GPT3?).

If there was a real message written as a novel-like short story, the audience will definitely be limited.

What if it was done intentionally, on purpose?

Author constructed a targeted message that repels all but the most promising marks, causing those to self-select, tilting the actionable true to false-positive ratio in his favor?

I might be overthinking. Will dump this one in my reading list (along with Lukas_Skywalker's comment), will get to it later.

The emojis were definitely annoying but after a few paragraphs my eyes just glazed right over them and I didn't pay them any more mind - I guess I might be missing part of the story that way (it definitely adds a kind of flavor and given the horrendous nature of typing emojis I assume a lot of thought went into them), but I thought the story without them was well-written.

"given the horrendous nature of typing emojis" - can easily be automated. Author could've been more courteous by leaving those out, making the contents more accessible.

re: Neuralink: https://neuralink.com/approach/ the tech is fascinating and Musk is positively and admirably insane! Seems like every Sci-Fi concept possible already has Musk's involvement in it.

J. Bezos, take a note, we need more of that!

Reminds me of reading Feersum Endjinn by Iain Banks.

The "phonetically" spelled sections from the one character's point of view were a killer to get through.
