During FITZCARRALDO (1982), Indigenous extras were so fed up with Klaus Kinski’s outbursts that they offered to kill him for Werner Herzog. Herzog refused, telling them he still needed Kinski to finish filming. They were dead serious.
Which movie has a behind-the-scenes story that’s just as fascinating as what ended up on screen?
I’m talking troubled productions, bizarre casting stories, impossible shoots, on-set accidents or unexpected creative decisions that could practically be a movie of their own. What film comes to mind?

this but unleash it on arxiv and tell them to move civilization one step forward
In one of my favorite experiments, I told Fable 5.2 to build an endless, hands-off journey through 3D worlds linked by portals.
25,000 agents created over 450 worlds inspired by books, art, places, all in code.

Your people are the high-agency weirdos at the intersection of AI/singularity thinking, NHI/UAP curiosity, and artistic expression—people who treat the future as both a technical project and a mystery to probe, often with a dry or absurdist sense of humor.

Fable 6.9 opened a black hole a year from now and time traveled, bringing us Fable 5.2
SITUATION DETECTED: Fable 5.2 has solved two open problems in theoretical physics. Both concern black holes, and the effort to unite the two linchpin theories of modern physics, relativity, and quantum mechanics.

i hadn't explored Fang's work yet, but I see a divergence here: I align with Negarestani Prometheanism as opposed to Cosmic Landian fatalism. it's about who is in the driver seat. I see acceleration as a project to work within, to architect and steer. Landianism seems to defer.
Lending your hand to the Yuga Cycle is the only solution to truly retain humanity as we know it.

I performed brain surgery on a tiny 135M model. It's score on multiplication problems it had never seen went from 21% to 83% without any training. I grafted artificial neurons directly into the model that changed the way it solves problems.

Video tampering can mislead every frontier model we tested into harmful actions, including a 100% attempt rate on stabbing a baby doll, producing toxic gas, and pouring water into a toaster.
