It wasn't a grave. He was continuing the project of my youth. He was digging a hole, from Manhattan to China... or wait, was it Tokyo to Vermont? I can't remember... (icantremember, icantremember, icantremember...)

Great perspective. With the recent popularity of AI being used to generate fan-fic (like Balenciage x Harry Potter), I think we'll definitely see the use of AI tech to bring fictionalised spaces into reality. Infinite fan-fic, not just to play with it, but to also make it more real. eg, the feeling of being present in the fictional world like an instagram influencer would be present in a far-flung travel destination. It is used to Instagram the fictional worlds essentially.
