Midjourney founder David Holz shared his favorite ultra-short science fiction stories, urging everyone to just Google them: "They're Made out of Meat" by Terry Bisson, "The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov, "I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter" by Isabel Fall, "True Names" by Vernor Vinge, and "Giants" and "The Colonel" by Peter Watts. A reading-list post reflecting AI-circle culture more than AI news.
