Ethan Mollick highlights a community expansion of his Portals project (466 AI-generated worlds in the original): someone forked his open-source repo and paired it with Fable to build a dedicated Portals for Iain M. Banks' Culture novels, letting users explore worlds from the books. Mollick notes the original only had one Banks world with no GSVs — the fan version fills that gap, with options for art style, camera pace, and companions.
