i'm telepathic.
don't believe me? i'll show you.
in the linked essay, i explore the ways that writing facilitates communication, and how it, in fact, fits the definition of "telepathy" as originally conceived. along the way, i touch on the history of the term "telepathy", discuss the reasons why writing is able to achieve this, and provide an epistemological and technical argument for why LLM generated text fails to do the same.
please enjoy!
» ☞Aonuma:☜ This year marks the 40th anniversary of the very first Legend of Zelda game. With that in mind, I was thinking about what I should create as the producer of the series. Many of the team members who work alongside me on Legend of Zelda games today have only experienced developing the more recent titles. That led me to wonder, “Do they truly understand just how significant ⟪The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time⟫ was to the series as a whole?” Of course, there are team members who vaguely know the game, and those who played it in their childhood days. But I started to wonder how they'd interpret ⟪The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time⟫ as they go about developing future Legend of Zelda games. By learning the game structure and development style behind the original ⟪The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time⟫, and by actually rebuilding it as a full remake, it may trigger new insights that they can carry forward into future development. If we could achieve that, I thought it would be incredibly valuable. That’s what led us to the conclusion that now is the right time to revisit ⟪The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time⟫ once again.
MOTHERFUCKERS I TOLD YOU

suppose i am playing a card game with three other people. a tarot deck is dealt out between us, with the fool and 1 of trump removed. i look in my hand and discover that i have been dealt the 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, and 21 of trumps. i am allowed to request one card from the person sitting on my left; i request the 19. they have it and pass it to me in exchange for one of my other cards.
what are the odds of this happening?
i am fully expecting any new blue scholars / prometheus brown output to be wholly “ok go to bed grandpa” but i am still going to listen to all of it
woke up with this song stuck in my head
