    I mean, technically you didn't recreate anything. You had the LLM pattern recognize something that already existed and it copied it. I don't mean to sound harsh, but create something new.

    So nostalgic. I had fun declining founders because of their various frauds/schemes.

      Is post economic a term billionaires use to describe not having to care about the actual value of a dollar?

        Yeah, it's what happens when you're agentic enough.

      Doom had demons, chex quest did not; derived works change subject matter all the time, I don't see why it's icky

        this is the kind of sophist nonsense that makes me hate tech workers. you don't see why because you are a man with the mind of a child.

      Yeah. The original was social commentary on the role of immigration enforcement as a tool of state oppression, with the brutality that sometimes occurs centered prominently and jarringly against video-game pixel art.

      This is tech bros recycling the same exact structure but making it about getting billionaires to fund their latest "Uber but for AI-powered false advertising."

      It's like if Flock wrote a version of 1984 where the heroic protagonist was trying to rise up against a regime of local activist groups who opposed installing Flock's mass surveillance products.

        It was also about how poverty enables cruelty, juxtaposing your struggle to pay for rent and food with the demands of the state. The incentives are very different from people like Paul Graham and Gary Tan who can flip through a hundred folios without being forced to pick anything.
