This claim I keep seeing that Nolan relied solely on Wilson's translation of The Odyssey is silly. The only source I can find is a quote he gave Empire about the opening line (https://t.co/rOuN5ox6J4). And in fact, she criticised several of Nolan's creative decisions
In “Apocalypto,” Mel Gibson transports you into the mind of a Mayan 500 years ago. In “The Northman,” Robert Eggers transports you into the mind of a Viking a thousand years ago. In “The Odyssey,” Christopher Nolan transports you into the mind of a liberal woman in 2017.

This dude shows up for lunch at my local coffee shop every day. All the staff know him. Don’t think I’ve ever seen him queue like the rest of us, he just sits down and they bring him his usual order. Pretty sure he once tried to sell me insurance. What an absolute lord.
Some new reporting in here from me: John Jumper has to serve a year of garden leave before he can start at Anthropic. That’s a long time in the AI world!!!!
A Nobel laureate, an OpenAI cofounder, and the architect of modern AI announced they're joining new AI labs.
