Gold is much more fungible than a business. 100 different businesses are much more unique than 100 different gold nuggets.

The counter-argument is that the models might make business ideas just as fungible as anything else.

Tangential, but has anyone attempted to disrupt the house-buying process? So much uploading of paperwork and making calls: just a whole bunch of information shunting that seems ripe for a software overhaul.

My argument is that the world being built is uninspiring, and the endless, arbitrary rules of the world are communicated in clumsy ways.

There's a lot of problems, but the main one is that it just is a pile of arbitrary rules that all the characters just constantly explain to one another.

Imagine the first third of The Matrix was cut and you just start with Morpheus explaining it all to Neo. That's Inception. And on top of that, it's not even a particular complicated idea: it's just Russian doll dreams.

And lose half the charm?

Memento yes, Inception definitely no. The worst experience I've had in a cinema.

Maybe this is what they meant by "pacing"?

Maybe how different things look with sunglasses on vs off?

The whole paragraph titled "Isn't this just Tidelift again?" is exactly how Claude describes something it is excited about.

I do a similar thing. It really is functionally exactly the same, just a bit more piecemeal.

It felt like unedited, unstyled Claude output. e.g. "No, and the difference is the important bit."
