this does seem like an "I learned it from watching you" moment.

anti-recency bias, with a less recency bias tagged on before.

I gotta say it reminds me a bit of that old Louis C.K bit where black people can't be messing with time machines. I guess gay people can't either. I don't think if you were gay you'd want the 60s, 70s, 80s or even 90s - maybe late 90s.

I mean it does seem that there are many groups of people I could think of that might be like 10 years ago please, but not much further back than that. Then again social progress not being evenly distributed might mean that 20 years ago and in a different country might be equivalent to 10 years for some life scenarios.


Some of these things described as "weirder" really aren't. For example, Pinocchio burning his feet off and getting them replaced by Gepetto - this is a comical example of things implied by the story premise.

We have a child carved of wood, a flesh and blood child burns off their feet is a tragedy, but carved of wood we make new feet, hah hah!

Not saying this particular incident is to be expected exactly, but events of this type are to be expected from any competent writer who has taken up the premise. Especially as it is structured as a picaresque fairy tale, it would be weird if this kind of thing didn't happen.

Also - The fairy, originally a corpse - why is a dead revenant of some sort bringing a puppet to life any weirder than a magical fairy? That's not weirder, just different than we've been told.


It's "weird" if you compare it with modern-day "child-safe" stories/comics/movies. It's definitely not weirder or more shocking than its contemporaries or predecessors. Here in Germany, the most well-known ones from that era are probably Grimms' Fairy Tales (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimms%27_Fairy_Tales), Struwwelpeter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struwwelpeter) and Wilhelm Busch's Max und Moritz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_and_Moritz#Final_Trick:_Th...).

generally the power shakeup that replaces an elite with another elite is one that replaces an old elite with a rising elite better able to take advantage of some economic conditions the old elite is ill-equipped to take advantage of

I just thought it was going to be a funny mashup of For Whom The Bell Tolls (Hemingway) with Michigan T. Frog (Looney Tunes)

overclocking a CPU might make it seem that you solved something and gotten better performance, but sooner or later it breaks down, as I read the article I believe that pre-computation essentially allows you to "overclock" the hardware, and make it seem that you have solved the problem of locomotion when what you have actually done is made something that looks impressive for a very much shorter of time than is usually used to calculate what the hardware can bear.

on edit: apologies if my analogy is not the best.

>The modern world is design rich and art poor. That is to say that with the introduction of mass production it became possible to distribute everywhere items that in previous eras would have been seen as full of Mana, but now, not unique — they have none.

That was in reference to mass produced design, but it seems to apply 10X to AI produced Art.



ok, how is this adequately explained by stupidity?

If it is adequately explained by stupidity then you should be able to get it to display the same behavior without mentioning OpenClaw? Do you have any theory as to what stupid thing they have done to make this happen, non-maliciously? Because, Hanlon's razor doesn't just work by saying Hanlon's razor - you have to actually explain how the stupidity happened.
