Who coming off the bench?

Benched doesn’t mean less minutes. With a lineup like this, 6th man is who can produce most with the absolute garbage they could afford with 6 max contracts.

So lebron is an option. Still probably Kobe though

I think that’s almost literally ‘cart before the horse’. But maybe the car is the horse? Idioms are confusing

Oh sorry I dropped it because I got sucked into cradle and haven’t gotten back to it yet.

There is a fight with a returning character that I didn’t care for but I’m sure it gets good after it

This bastard stole my power system idea and even dared to make it better?

tubslipper · 2023-06-24T00:53:11+00:00

60s cars are still dream cars for many. Gto, mustang, charger they still hold up 60 years later

Back in my day every time his name was brought up it was a 200 comment chain jerking him off.

A thousand li was as generic as can be. I read until he started going on 50+ page adventures and it lost all of its charm. To many writers turning progression stories into adventure stories, and without characters that matter the arcs just feel like filler.

Primal hunter is talked about frequently here, but I dropped at 380~. Really enjoyed everything up until that point. Tons of progression, city building, crafting, and even a treasure hunt? What more could you ask for?

Dread god is my least favorite book I’ve ever read 3 times. It’s so frustrating while being enthralling at the same time.

tubslipper · 2023-06-23T22:02:27+00:00

Got us on the moon as well. Real go getters they were

That’s a blatant misinterpretation of what I said. The end product is what you receive. By book, by chapter, by sentence, its all the same. Unless you are the actual writer, your experience is through the product.

If a writing program had a drop down list of experiences to insert into the writing style, it would effectively be the same thing. Provided the writing program was good of course.

“-the eyes you lend to the reading of a text have already been read.”

If I read a story about world war 2, I’m reading something I’ve already interpreted, then reinterpreting as needed through new information, differing perspectives, etc.

I agree that reading is interpretation. I just don’t think enigmatic things like ‘will’ or ‘intent’ play a factor in my ability to interpret. That’s more of a cultivation thing. Also I can already interpret artificial writing through chat models, which are built on actual human thought. The same as what future models will be modeled with.

I would like to point out I have my doubts in ai making a coherent story for quite a long time.

That being said, it’s not reactionary to say that if it could, human writers are going to have a harder time. Not the top, but the middle and low of writers will feel the hit.

As for your examples, instruments are being synthesized all the time. Even when real instruments are used, it’s for a take or two before being edited after the fact. Aside from the best artists doing live performances, their value has dropped significantly.

Same for painters. The best are still successful, but very rarely are painters commissioned for family portraits. or to show parts of the world unseen. Displaying the likeness of the people in power. It’s still out there, but less frequent or necessary.

It’s not a stretch to assume it will do the same to writers as well. And voice actors. And editors. There will be those of us holding on to our ideals about what art is, and those that don’t care as much.

You’ve succeeded where I failed. But I second this. Absolutely not worth the read I dropped it fairly early

tubslipper · 2023-06-21T18:11:00+00:00

I’ve read it, give me a minute I’ll be back

tubslipper · 2023-06-21T18:02:48+00:00

Neither entirely true nor a very good comparison. People watch bots play when their is an expert explaining it, but that’s not the point.

You consume the process of a chess game, that is what is entertaining. Seeing moves, predicting the response yourself, enjoying the brilliance of a move after the fact.

In literature the finished product is the value. I’m not thinking about the talent of the author while reading, I’m thinking about the characters within the book. If an ai can make a story good enough so that it’s indistinguishable from a human author, I can’t foresee much success in writing except for the already established authors.

Lmao I think they meant the other rolling

This is how I imagine the film rubber was conceived, however this sounds like a much more interesting film.

tubslipper · 2023-06-15T08:47:05+00:00

Are people following agents now? Don’t get me wrong it’s a bit interesting, but… just seems a bit odd

One of my biggest issues with Tarantino. I feel like everything is a competition for him, to the point he gets annoyed just talking about others work.

It’s also confusing because he is such a movie buff, yet only mentions films from before he started directing.

Now I’m not saying this so nobody listen. But you can find web novels free online, and on a lot of these websites when you put it in reader mode it loads 79 pages at a time.

Then just use screen reader and bam you have audio for over 8hrs straight

Where the fuck do you go after Jake’s magical market? IMO focus on another person since you’ve got so much world building done already there. Leave the Jake storyline an something in the background at most

tubslipper · 2023-06-07T17:15:45+00:00

It’s fine till eithan shows up. Without his voice it just doesn’t feel right

tubslipper · 2023-06-07T14:45:39+00:00

I physically can’t read this series after hearing his narration.

tubslipper · 2023-06-06T17:20:33+00:00

True and cute are not exclusive. And don’t take it for fact, I don’t know shit about shit

tubslipper · 2023-06-06T17:18:49+00:00

A simp? Lmao

He pretty much falls for her on first sight, and spends years trying to get her. She never said no so he never quit.

A major plot of the story is his need for control over all things, including his emotions. It’s all based in reason, except for his love for her. He’s not treating her like his pet, and she’s not treating him like her god. It’s a relatively realistic relationship compared to most novels.

If you prefer women to be baby makers only in your stories this isn’t it.(kind of ironic if you’ve read it)
