Reading With Friends
My paper for ACM Hypertext 2026: The Reader’s Workbench: Reading With Friends.
Large language models can read difficult literary hypertexts, discuss difficult texts and their intertextual relationships (Thucydides FTW!), improve large hypertext systems, and write hypertext fiction. This suggests several new areas for hypertext research.
- Beyond Markov processes
- AI-machine interfaces
- Note-taking strategies
- Hypertext with friends
- Rerun the drag races
- Where is meaning?
- How can any of this work?
