Yee. As an aside, by “education”, I mean any kind of knowledge. Many successful people have at least a small degree of intuitive knowledge— stuff they understand but weren’t explicitly taught. They may not even realize that they understand it and others don’t, because it came naturally.
Okay, yeah. Basically magical thinking— thinking that if someone succeeds, they are just special. Which is wrong. In reality, most of it is education, hard work, being first, getting good exposure, and plain old luck. And finishing a novel— even a shitty one— is hard work.
That’s fair, though Sorcerer’s Stone really wasn’t written better than later installments.
Thanks for this. Might give it a watch later. ^^
I would also like to call “third-party” content creators “fans” in this case too, in which case that is absolutely true. Extended universe? Clone Wars show? Comic books? Novels? All that third-party Star Wars content is pretty passionate. This is also true of Sonic— Archie and the ascended fan game Sonic Chronicles cared a lot more about Sonic’s universe than SEGA did.
By that last sentence, do you mean “but you can’t seem to accept”, or “you should accept”?
No. You can succeed at something and still be a moron. Look at Elon Musk. Look at George Lucas’ early drafts and his acting-direction we have footage of. Both Han Solo and Padme told him the dialogue was amazingly stupid, and George just argued with them that it would be good.
How is that fucking legal?

Looks great, but I need a light version. (Don’t hate :P )
I need a light version.
I came here to say this. Like, they’re not wrong.
It’s getting old telling people this, but… the AI that we have right now? Isn’t even really AI. It’s certainly not anything like in the movies. It’s just pattern-recognition algorithms. It doesn’t know or understand anything and it has no context. It can’t tell the difference between a truth and a lie, and it doesn’t know what a finger is. It just paints amalgamations of things it’s already seen, or throws together things that seem common to it— with no filter nor sense of “that can’t be correct”.
I’m not saying there’s nothing to be afraid of concerning today’s “AI”, but it’s not comparable to movie/book AI.
Edit: The replies annoy me. It’s just the same thing all over again— everything I said seems to have went right over most peoples’ heads. If you don’t know what today’s “AI” is, then please stop assuming about what it is. Your imagination is way more interesting than what we actually have right now. This is why we should have never called what we have now “AI” in the first place— same reason we should never have called things “black holes”. You take a misnomer and your imagination goes wild, and none of it is factual.
I called you “bro”.
I didn’t say it was a good pun.
You’re wrong. Come at me, bro.

Excuse me, but as a middle child, I have to absolutely object to that last statement. Middle children have their own unique sibling/personality complexes. :P
Oh wait, I don’t exist. Wow, that’s a stealthy, mean joke. That cuts, fam.
10 to 15 years ago, myself. Don’t remember exactly.
I think you missed the point of why I said that.
