The first idea was a "novel" one :) but I had questions about what would happen once the story (i.e. context) became long enough.

You could maybe do some clever things to compact the story line or index it somehow to aim to push the story's length beyond "normal" limits, but at some point you're going to start pushing up against the context window and get diminishing returns on the quality and "accuracy" (or adherence to the previously established facts or truths of the worlds it's creating).

The second idea sounds like just a bunch of AI-generated sci-fi novels with nothing connecting them i.e. AI slop. The author references "an overall story arch" but does not mention anything other than there are two LLMs that each write a paragraph in a novel until it is done and then move on to another novel.

Well my idea was that when I said that the overall story arch is interesting, one would read a paragraph or two and see themselves if it's worth reading further or not, so I didn't think mentioning anything else is necessary ;)
