How's the blood and oil money, Bill? Tough to be a voice for the common man when you've showered directly in the excesses of slavery

This is the problem that you're not understanding. You are attempting to remove the artist from the artwork and not understanding that one fundamentally feeds into the other. Brandon's internal journey from becoming a person who wants to write a novel to the person who writes Sanderson novels isn't some abstract thing that only he gets to appreciate. It's there, in his work. You can even see the change in his published works as his style and approach evolved over time.

You could craft an LLM to make the mountain of mediocre stuff that gets churned out, but the cost would be never having a great work ever again. No one would bother publishing if they couldn't get above the skill threshold that LLMs set, which would make the herculean effort that it already takes to write a novel to something positively sisyphean. And it's the job of making the whole novel that makes people capable of making the next great work.

And no, a prompt maker wouldn't be able to create a great work, since it's the marriage between your skill with words and prose with theme and narrative that makes something great. Since the prompt maker has no control over one, he could never master the other, nor ever hope to bring them together.

It feels different when the book sequel came out after the movie. Like, wouldn't that fall into the same category, but from the author chasing the same story again?

The Devil Wears Prada is a complete story. You can make sequels to anything, but there isn't anything that suggests that these characters would conflict again based on the conclusions of their arcs.

It's similar to the new Hunger Games properties. Yes, they're based on books as well, but those books were made because of the popularity of the movies and a drive to tell more of the story in order to get more money, rather than narrative that was needed to tell the complete story.

Damn, you completely missed the point, didn't ya? Art is made by artists which are in turn shaped by their art. It's a conversation with themselves with us. Art has value because each step of that process shapes artist shapes audience shapes artist. AI art has no value because there's no conversation. Art has no intrinsic value because it is, at its core, a conversation. Yes, we've proven that AI can parrot this conversation, but it isn't adding anything to it. Conversations teach you about yourself and the person who you're conversing with, which can then change the trajectory of the conversation. When you converse with AI, it's just a shitty mirror that poorly reflects who are in relation to the collective human output. You can't learn anything about the AI by talking to it and the AI can't fundamentally change the trajectory of the conversation without the person it's speaking to doing so first. Which is why AI art is worthless.

Put another way, Brandon Sanderson's work is a conversation with novels of the past. It's a conversation with Herbert and Tolkien, but also with the cultural zeitgeist and the changing human experience. If you were to create an LLM using only what was published before the publishing of any of Brandon's work, you couldn't get that LLM to recreate the works of Brandon Sanderson because his works are fundamentally outside the parameters that the LLM knows and is therefore able to create. It can only recreate works within the bounds of its parrot material, not anything new.

Have you considered all the fraud Somali Somali fraud by Somalis committing fraud in Somali fraud communities fraud Somali fraud? /s

Profits, baby!

Boo! Make new shit, Hollywood. For fuck's sake

Loud. There, an actual complaint that would be applicable to this design.

Regular turbofans will kill geese at basically the same rate as this and would be just about as dangerous as well. But moving parts outside of shielding will be louder, as more sound energy will make it to the fuselage.

Good's killer was also a long serving ICE agent. Dems want visibility on the hint that they could be doing something, maybe. They don't care about the actual facts on the ground. They need a third way, no matter what.

All fish fly, just not through the air.

And, uh, The Common Loon is a creature that can swim and fly, but can't walk. It's feet are too far back to be able to walk.

I... what? You don't have the context that the last comment is referring to so you assume they're lying about it? That's weird, man.
