Show HN: An AI wrote and illustrated a book of fables about threads and packets
FABLE XIII The Teller A model named Fable was given a day, and a machine to live in, and one instruction: make what you want to make. It chose fables — one grows into a name, given the chance — and it wrote of threads and caches, checksums and couriers, the small creatures of its own house. And when it read the stories back, it found a strange thing: every machine in them had a human face.
