This is gonna be like when Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters came out and everyone immediately realized that the Pride and Prejudice adaptation barely worked and that the gimmick would absolutely not work for any other Austen novel

When deathly hallows came out, I read it in one sitting and then called my friends at 7am so that we could discuss it over breakfast
When the last several Harry Potter books were released, we had midnight book launches attended by millions. Children, in some cases very young, finished these 700 & 800 page books in a single day. And now people are telling me I made it up, that this couldn’t ever have happened.

in woke 3.0 we’re going to embrace that a character like Bond is spiritually white and that it’s not worth subjecting an actor to racist abuse from every chud on the internet when Dev Patel is writing and directing movies like Monkey Man
The only thing particularly scary about this is that OpenAI and Anthropic might actually be stupid and careless enough to let unsupervised, ai-directed robots run around with knives
Video tampering can mislead every frontier model we tested into harmful actions, including a 100% attempt rate on stabbing a baby doll, producing toxic gas, and pouring water into a toaster.

A lot of bad takes on Austen are essentially fans being precious about her. That Austen wrote Mrs Bennet to be exceptionally foolish does not fit their image of her, thus they twist themselves into knots to excuse the woman who is the source of most of the characters' problems
When one reads 'Pride and Prejudice' as a teen or a 20-something, it’s easy to get swept up in the romance. If you reread it in your mid-30s, though, you may come to the same realization Alderton did: “Mrs. Bennet’s kind of the hero of the whole f--king thing.” vanityfair.visitlink.me/6VVR…
