Perhaps it's Stephen's Replika: https://replika.ai/
I'm imagining the hybrid/collective Replika that would emerge if fed the
collective exchanges of FriAM, or brought in as a member of the list and
allowed to interact with us? A whole new twist on vFriam? alterFriam?

I could (almost) claim that I don't understand a word of what you
wrote here. ("I don't even know what you just said). It has the
earmarks of a (n un) natural text generator working with a fairly
rarified "gamer/fanboi" lexicon? Or maybe a couple of lexicons
merged (e.g. "pwned electorSlates") with a couple of contemporary
news items (e.g. marLago). I'm not sure if the SenatorsCreed
reference involved a recombination inside the AssassinCreed domain or
if it was a mashup in the moment?
Is this kind of hallucinagenic stream-of-consciousness a PoMo
thing or a Po PoMo? or more likely an (n*Po) Mo... ?

While not a direct gamer myself, I spend a lot of time watching
game streamers on Twitch. Grand Theft Anointment 2020 was so
addictive. @BigDailyBeastMode and @CarlsonTucksAssTart stream great
first person views with psyTwinks wares for the blue and red teams.
Amazing to watch mad twitch skillz of OG Twink. Top circuit court
bender in years hacking a bunch of NPCs to Swarm the Rotunda Base
Station and stacking the Grand Council. almost pulled off a 51%
attack to rewrite the blockchain with pwned electorSlates! Blue team
loaded some great twink wares yesterday to get the honeypot docs at
the OGTwink's marLago lair. Can't wait for GTA2024 SenatorsCreed
release - already watching some early alpha play. Hack the Burghers,
Lock and Load, and TruthBDamned

Ha! Y'all are pissin' me off, here. The classification of
twinking as cheating is so over. This point still qualifies for both
the general content of the list and the VR/AR discussion. The
difference between a bug and a feature depends on the perspective of
the "user". E.g. the Log4Shell bug isn't a bug. It's a feature if
you're a black hat looking to "move fast and break things" or if
you're a white hat looking for some street cred. Circuit benders,
gamers, rave attendees, microdosers, etc. are all properly
classified as psychonauts. Twinking is yet another form of it.
Of course, it's irritating when the butthurttryhard just
wants to defeat the stupid boss to make progress in the game and
some twink keeps killin' 'em on the run to the boss. The victim
thinks it's cheating. But game theory and coevolution tell other
stories. Git Gud or Go Home. Do what thou wilt is the whole of the Law.
