Just discovered an insane new form of co-intelligence where you briefly share the mind of a great thinker in history and then a portion of their mind travels in yours for the rest of your life. Calling it a "book."

The amount of coordination between what I assume is the actor in the costume and a tech puppeteer controlling the face so you can do a shockingly convincing “out of breath” bit is staggering.

That or there’s a JARVIS level tech reading the actors face in real time.

Or it’s a real bear.
Days later, and I still can't stop watching this. This song is now burned into my brain. And that Paddington... that's a game changer. Blown away. So want to go to London and watch the new musical!!!

TFW you ran a pump like fifty years ago and suddenly someone calls you to talk about it and you are the only one to realize this is absolutely absurd but you say nothing because you could use some money and maybe this will help
"You study how that liquid comes out of the hose normally. But then sometimes you have to manipulate the opening on the hose to make the liquid look like it’s actually coming out of someone’s mouth."

You know that thing where people don't like hearing about other peoples dreams (I do btw, and I find it sad that people don't).

But I HATE hearing people telling me how they use LLMs. Snorefest galore.
