@friendlymike It is wild to go back to Mandalorian from TLOU and think to yourself, "WTF is he even doing in this Mando performance? How is this working"

@benlikestocode @dannyroa @kaush I think it'd be a lot more jarring without having seen either 2 or 3. Starting in 2, the whole assassin world thing gets very supercharged and the movies become a lot different

@friendlymike @benlikestocode @dannyroa @kaush That's also true!I was all "I guess this is acceptable" about JW4 until the Arc de Triomphe scene. It kinda went into overdrive starting there and never let up

There's an assumption deep in the DNA of Google and of OpenAI that I think is fundamentally false: that all the information you might need is out there in the world already, and that economic value is provided by improving how we access and interpret it.I don't think that's true at all, though. I think the economic value is in discovery, in *reinterpretation*. I believe it's not enough to feed data into a LLM — I believe that knowledge dies when it's no longer on our own lips.
