Hacker News post links real AI assistants to Eunice in William Gibson's 'Agency'
What happened
An October 26 Hacker News front-page post ties real AI product progress to Eunice, the experimental AI assistant in William Gibson's 2020 novel Agency. In the novel, Eunice runs background tasks like buying frequent-flyer miles while holding a conversation. The post points to GPT-Live and Block's Dessa for human-like full-duplex dialogue, and to OpenAI's Dots and Meta's Muse for agents that pursue goals on their own around the clock. On that basis it says the assistant Eunice represents is nearing reality.
