It’s possible to remix real-life content to create something fantastical yet realistic.
You yourself are incapable of imagining anything truly novel that isn’t grounded in representations of reality you’ve learned.
Any description of a thing is necessarily referential; otherwise you wouldn’t be able to describe it.
The funny thing is, if you were a working in a proper academic system, you would get this kind of pushback through peer review. Since you are not part of that system and seem to actively celebrate not being part of it, your feedback loop is going to be annoying reply guys and gals.
@elonmusk So much of SpaceX sticking to its mission and succeeding seems tied to Elon himself. Why do none of his companies seem to have viable succession plans? These are all such long-horizon targets.
@_Maxamillon_@FightWithMemes I’m just going to be a contrarian for a second to point out that women in the workforce doubles the labor supply which could potentially be a factor in driving down wages.
@Noahpinion These meetups and callouts are all a bit of fun, but are a net negative because they leans into multiculturalism and granular divisions over a unified integrated identity.
Multiculturalism is the antithesis of social cohesion. I say this as the father of a “chindian”.
@CupitLonniem@ArynneWexler Except that a lot of them actually care a lot about color. Otherwise there wouldn’t be so much anti-“legal” immigration sentiment.
@paulg I’ve noticed that contrastive framing has been an obnoxious tic in all classes of writing by all the frontier models, not just tweets (lol, I did it too)
@Noahpinion Something fishy going on.
Weirdly large number of people are getting miles.
There’s some type of Miles attractor in the latent space…

@steipete Looking at a large task and breaking it into concrete verifiable objectives so that we can even use goals in the first place is non-trivial, though…
@tszzl@hamandcheese You should read the Vorkosigan Saga by Bujold. Optimistic speculative fiction.
Miles was one of the inspirations for Tyrion Lannister.
