How are midgets going to complain when they are the only "minority" group that has always been represented in media as they are without hate? LotR/Hobbit Willow Willy Wonka Wizard of Oz Time Bandits The list goes on, and still those ingrate dwarves complain about being oppressed, from who? The only dwarf hater that's worked to get other dwarves disenfranchised by CGI and the same pygmy actor for everything, has been Peter Dinklage: a fucking midget. If I was a dwarf I'd be very happy with the lore bestowed upon me. Any midget who doesn't dwarfmaxx Willow larp is wasting his life. Imagine being a decent IQ midget, watching Thunder Dome, and deciding not to find a 6ft+ retard to manipulate into being your personal steed. Makes no sense, the world needs more creative midgets.

SpaceX has introduced a new investor relations website where you can sign up to get notified of for all investor related updates. The site includes sections for financial filings, events, a leadership page with all top executives and board of directors listed, as well as the committee composition, and lastly an updates page.

We're starting to leave the territory where you'd test an LLM by e.g. "create an svg of pelican on a bicycle". As one idea to generalize it, I was interested what Opus 5 would do if I gave it the first paragraph of the Lord of the Rings, a 1M token budget (~$10) and asked for three js render of it. Opus went off for ~2 hours and wrote 5500 lines of code that (procedurally) rendered the story. It's kind of janky but fun. But it's a bit mindboggling that the LLM has to place and orchestrate various polygon assets in (x,y,z) coordinates and write code that animates it all, and that it even does anything at all. I also like this kind of examples because no one in their right mind would ever spend the time to write something this custom but LLMs have all the stamina and patience in the world, so it's an example where we go from "no one would ever do this" to "sure, why not, it's ~free". There might be a lot more. But I'm excited about creating hyper custom worlds that you can imagine dropping players into, e.g. here to participate in the LoTR story as a spectator NPC, or one of the characters, or etc. Something like an ephemeral GTA of X on demand. Last thought is that the domain of worlds/games exposes a weakness in LLMs: they can't easily audit their work because they aren't able to efficiently and natively perceive videos or play games within them. Here, Opus 5 had to very slowly and painstakingly take screenshots at different points, and it messed up a few times and created a bunch of jank. An example of raw capability (multimodal, gameplay) that I think is still quite lacking.
