AI researcher cloneofsimo says he finished reading qntm's (Sam Hughes) work and was blown away: "so refreshing... a masterpiece — I'm paralyzed by the fact that one can come up with all the materials in the book." The quoted post links to qntm's November 11, 2025 update. The book is widely understood to be the antimemetics-themed cult classic There Is No Antimemetics Division, a recurring recommendation in AI circles as a thought experiment on self-concealing information.
