Followed in these footsteps. Found you can get some fascinating results by asking the ‘vm’ to run commands like

   curl www.bbc.co.uk/news/headlines | grep war

Also, in my ChatGPT’s virtual universe, the second story in the HTML on the front page of hacker news was

   <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03128-9">The first artificial intelligence to evolve entirely inside a computer has been created</a>

Update: while it is obviously not a working URL in the real world, inside the ‘vm’,

   curl https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03128-9

works and produces plausible HTML for a nature page with that title - and the following meta summary:

   <meta property="og:description" content="It may be a long way from human intelligence, but a digital organism that can evolve inside a computer marks a significant advance." />

Sadly the actual content is paywalled.
