    It looks like Ethereum is somehow a part of this universe along with AI? I am not sure what the identity is here fully, but I get that writers are wanted. Are they supposed to also be crypto broish?

    Half the fun of writing science fiction can be coming up with novel concepts or 'rules', what happens when everything of consequence in the 'Jamverse' has been built out? Will they start a new one?

      Shared fiction communities happen naturally when you have simple rules and a strong appealing grounding (visually, intellectually, ritually, or otherwise).

      See: Minecraft, Sonic, MLP, SCP, even Bored Apes Yacht Club for 15 minutes

      Which is me agreeing with you: this seems too hard to get; there's already 4 timelines and no faces to get attached to.

      I agree that there's a tension you're pointing to here. But I can imagine narrative devices to get around it, if it's ever a problem.

      Maybe go one level deeper? Or maybe branching the timeline in the past, like Marvel popularized?
