review: It started off as incredibly clever, and looked to be a fun parody. Instead, it went quickly down a deep dark hole and kept going in. A circle-jerk vehicle for the author's force insertion of their ideas about 'rationality'. Then I looked up the author's other works - found some stuff about AI and safety and alignment -- so more crazy stuff. Makes sense. Didn't like it. DNF.,
