| > You don't get it. It's easy to say that as someone on the outside without skin in the game, not working on this, not in the know. > That's worthless. A firehose of novelty is almost immediately no longer novel. And yet here you are on HN. I'll bet you have a Twitter and phone and consume social media, too. That's all just a poor man's version of what we'll be building. > Why would anyone want this? I have literally wanted this exact thing all of my life. There have only been a handful of films I've walked out of and felt truly satisfied. I've seen thousands of movies shot by mere hundreds of directors at best. That's billions of dollars of institutional capital put behind a few lucky white men for what amounts to as a "meh" at best. Now we can empower anyone to have their own take at it. To build and express anything. To sift and sort through emotional/concept space and deliver truly new things. We get one short life to experience the universe. Let's climb the gradient to the stars and experience the limits. > It's the same problem already with streaming services and their own series. They're all already joyless and immediately forgettable. They have less and less value. Spaghetti thrown at walls by blank check writing firms trying to capture eyeballs. This isn't at all what I'm talking about. This technology will bankrupt that type of behavior. Everyone will have access to these tools and be able to build whatever their heart desires. Whatever they want to put out into the world for the rest of us to experience. > Your breathlessly described "amazing transformation" sounds incredibly boring and pointless. I don't get you, but that's fine. We'll be building away regardless. I don't think humans are the end point of our tiny quadrant of the universe. We're a transitional blip. This is just part of the changing of the guard. And the transformation will yield beautifully captivating results. I'm here to contribute and experience. |
