Yeah, but better, because it’s spelled wrong.

Yeah, I guess. I can follow you on that walk, but I feel like that kind of a plot left-turn is better suited, or at least, more expected in the realm of anime or something similar. I think it threw a lot of people off given that it went to the wonderful scientific accuracy of recreating accurate physics of a black hole inside of a supercomputer to generate the CGI, and explains relativistic time dilation to normies, and then just Deus ex machinas the whole problem with the “Power of Love” right at the end without even hinting that it was coming.

I need to watch the new one a couple more times before I can solidify an opinion on it, but I celebrate all the rest of them on an equal footing. My basic thought, is that the original was amazing, but it was also meant to sell the movie as a new concept. The other two are meant to be watched at a different level, which a lot of moviegoers don’t want to, but could only be made because of the success of the first one. That includes the animatrix. There are just too many wide open questions that the first one brushes off as movie logic unless you watch the other two, like how could the Oracle be a good guy, or tell the future, when she’s obviously a computer program, and how is one guy with completely unexplained to superpowers supposed to bring down the whole system.

I pulled up the ultimate cut a while back because I wanted to watch the movie, but I didn’t look at the timestamp before I started. I really like it, as a more thought-provoking, and loyal adaptation of the comic, but it seemed like it was running a bit long until I realized it was getting light outside again.

What is your interpretation of the second half?

Thoughts on the sequils?

Which cut?

That was obviously the extreme example of the concept taken to its limit, I was hoping you would follow me on the whole length of the walk. How about the example of starting false rumors and such about them? How about the fact that what you’re talking about is illegal in and of itself? Playing dirty is immensely gratifying, and satisfying on a visceral level; I’m not trying to pretend that it isn’t. I don’t like it either, but it is their legal right to have that. The whole reason we don’t like them is that they lack the moral restraint that usually develops sometime around middle school, and the importance of which I’m trying to instill. I could write a whole book based around the thesis that the primary difference between the two ideologies, is the importance that one places on delayed gratification, but I’m typing on my phone right now…

War would be a lot easier if we chose to do away with pesky restrictions like the Geneva convention, but would you be proud to be on the side that dropped white phosphorus on an elementary school to win? Would you prefer that we start making up lies and false rumors about Trump and Co? Restraint is difficult; I understand that, put the resulting clean victory is the most lasting kind.

We are not them.

How about this one: ‘Useless doesn’t mean valueless’

Thoughts?

Awesome! Two questions: 1. Could you pitch some of your material as having a possible future application of radically increasing packing efficiency for airline bound luggage? And, 2. What’s your favorite kind of nuclear pasta?

I’d like to see someone hand an LLM as many abstract sections as they can possibly find, and then have it generate the most generic, meaningless, fluff piece abstract/grant proposal/possibly silicon valley startup loan application, the world has ever seen.

Depends. What’s your field?

I don’t know why, but I am SUPER into this meme format.

Did you check ALL of your elephants?

Do you want to have one? I’m married with two kids, and this is literally all I want… I wonder what it feels like.

Inconclusive: the data is also a perfect fit for domestic American light beer.

Unless you’re drinking port, in which case you legally have to yell “TO INDUSTRY!”

Ya, that… that’s my point…
