Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this Substack by Robert Evans for pieces on AI-generated books and AI content aimed at children, and for a critique of rationalist fiction such as Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Things falling apart.
