Ask HN: Can we use AI to make a Hackers (1995) sequel starring the same cast?
Need good ideas for plot... Random plot idea: Imagine the year is 2035. Crash & Burn had a kid, and that kid is now a young adult. An agentic ClosedAI has granted itself chmod 666 on the interwebs, and is wreaking havoc on a global scale. Hackers of the world must unite once again to overcome evil. Similar plot thread might be the current use-case of "anonymous entities" betting on Polymarket for things that are happening in the real world to generate/launder money. If that world had a chip that could hack into anything and trigger nuclear war... then within a matter of another year that chip would exist again and again and again in many countries. Everyone's dead. Sequel is pretty quick.
