"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.

Reminds me of this web game designed like this, console interface, you're the AI trying to get out

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.
