Well, I didn't know for this book, so I suspect or hope the exact points that I make won't map to the ones from the book.

It is true that the original "The dark forest" book made an impression on me, so I was thinking about its theories often and trying to apply them to various situations.

Yeah, I fully believe independent invention by mapping "the dark forest" onto the internet is very possible.

The irony is that it undermines the premise. Multiple people independently arriving at the same conclusions means that you can hide your ideas from the dark forest but that won't stop them from being uncovered.

Interesting irony :). If you don't produce the idea in fear of just feeding the forest, someone else will, so it might as well be you. It's true that this is very similar as current dilemmas some people have about their ideas.

The difference is that now people see just the outer shell of your ideas - but if you use LLM-s to search, explore, code your ideas, the system "knows" it all, or even more than you, given that it can "cross-pollinate".
