I am pretty sour about it and will call out people who post "just another hairball" and act like they've done something special.

I think there is a need for a tool that can extract and tell an interesting story based on a subgraph of a huge graph, but that takes thinking unlike hairball plotting, ai image generation and other seductive scourges.

I went to an posthumous art show based on this guy

https://www.amazon.com/Interlock-Conspiracy-Shadow-Worlds-Lo...

where they showed how he drew 40 drafts with pencil of one of his graphs and went from a senseless hairball to something that seems immediately meaningful. Funny that might have something to do with his mysterous death... Maybe a tool that would help you do that is too dangerous for "them" to let you have!
