You're actually right, I misread the first post.

Speaking of unutilized talents, other than Hollywood, I'd also add a whole bunch of folks in tech who could be useful for defending their own homeland (hence, their own & their kids' future) but are busy doing the generic commercial stuff.

Nazi scientists were brought in _after_ WWII, not during it.

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.” - Brian Eno, 1996

For those who read on mobile and are too lazy to convert all they have, a quick access shortcut to the 'inverted colors' display mode helps.

a brilliant idea in the correct direction of naturally-organic UI, but the example site is rather slow in Chrome on an M3 Air

thought this was about bio-reverse-engineering at first

the works of fiction should inflame the imagination through originality and the workings on the reader's inner sense. it is the exact realm where I don't want AI to be present.

the article itself is only an analysis of an already present fictional world, created by humans. such content is secondary- or third-rate in nature.

also, the focus on being simply 'entertained' sounds rather depressing to me

>This work was partly supported by using OpenAI’s GPT for drafting and editing assistance, and Grammarly for grammar and style suggestions.

these things should be disclaimed at the top, not the bottom. moreover, HN should have some kind of a tag for [AI-generated content], ideally. otherwise, the opportunities for wasting the readers' time are endless
