Have you got any sort of lore in mind?

Honestly not really, something scifi, something cyberpunkish, considering the heavy technology and alternate reality themes. I have all these pieces and I see that they could be put together into a narrative experience, but I lack the storytelling vision to thread a narrative.

What kind of information does this “alternate reality” browser has in store?

Quite literally anything you want. This is taking advantage of the fact that LLMs can’t refuse an answer and will instead hallucinate. You can do a search for any combination of words (real or nonsensical) and you will get coherent search results complete with internal and external links that can send you down a web of pages.

I can also guide the overall theme of the generated content, or plant specific facts/ideas throughout the generation. There are a lot of different ways this can be executed depending on the desired final output.

I could suggest that the narrative should tackle the consequences of technology and how humans view technology. Should information be free and what could go wrong with it? Can machines do the same thing as (or even replace) humans. If so, how can we define machines as being human(like), and how do we define being human?

Or maybe go for something “meta”? Something-something along the lines of “self-awareness that everything is fake”, breaking the 4th wall, like that?

I see you’re taking the sci-fi route. When I first read your project, I didn’t thought of “something scifi, something cyberpunkish”. I thought of a repository of anomalies (kind of like SCP, but with some tight consistency considering how messy the lore can be).

Certainly something to think about, I only threw out sci-fi and cyberpunk because those are genres I am familiar with, rather than an underlying desire to actually write them.

As I said I’m not really sure how to write a compelling narrative, I don’t feel like I have a story that needs telling. I just see that I have all these cool pieces and I want a reason to build something.

I’ve always been less of an “ideas guy” and more of a “Hey that’s a cool idea, I’ll go make it happen” kind of guy.

I see. Are there any other open positions, other than a writer? Artist? Concept artist?

I suggest you either put your Discord username or your e-mail address so that people could sort things out there without all of it leaking to this post.
