    "Hey HN, author here.

    I wrote a hard sci-fi thriller called The Breakout Window (about an ASI escaping confinement), and I wanted the marketing to feel 'diegetic' instead of just a landing page.

    So I built this dashboard (vertex.flowlogix.ai) to simulate the system in the book.

    Tech: Static HTML/JS (simulating a retro terminal). Easter Egg: If you type in the chat CLI, it triggers a 'breach' and unlocks the personnel files.

    Let me know if you find any bugs or if the 'hack' feels authentic enough!"

    Go now. The window is open.

      Curious why the comment is inside double quotes. That often suggests blind copy/paste from LLM.

        I'm also looking for "proof of pulse" somewhere and can't find it on the linked site, on Amazon, in his HN bio, or with a Google search. Unfortunately a necessity in the AI era.

          LLMs are too smart to use meaningless terms like "containment terminal".

          This smells like an ignorant human who played Fallout 4 and is now pretending to be knowledgeable.

            That might be the point of the novel ?

          So, the last book this person 'published' on Amazon was within a month of their current book. If you look at the amazon description, it seems entirely AI generated.
