Meanwhile, Asimov: We'll have robots that will help us accomplish crazy shit but stupid zealots will keep whining about it and holding them back
This is in no way relevant to anything that's happening today.
... That's what you got from Asimov?
Yep. You have something to add?
You are absolutely correct that is a major theme, especially in the Foundation books. To be fair, Asimov also buried that point in ponderous prose and scattered it across centuries of book-time.
I think Goyer did the best one could do in adapting Foundation to visual media. He had to invent and re-imagine a lot in order to give continuity and cohesion to a sprawling story. If he had stayed more true to the books, it would have flopped instantly.
I ain't gonna lie. I'm not entirely sure this answer didn't come from an LLM.
Yeah, that’s the way I write. It’s the other way around though. LLM are trained on a lot of academic writing.
So I guess, LLM sound like me?
Seems a little reductive, especially when some of the whiny zealots are the robots themselves
I mostly picked up on the incest, but I was like 12 when I read that series
now take that and replace "robots" with "shareholders". perspective of every single big shareholder today.
I'd rather replace zealots with shareholders.
