proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I like how “middle-aged theater director needs to write a play to justify his existence and is betrayed by his wife, played by Katherine Keener” is an accurate description of Hamlet 2 but also Synecdoche, New York 020

proseandkahn.bsky.social @proseandkahn.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Regarding the claim being made in the attached post, it seems simple to explain? Even if the particular numbers don’t appear in the training data, there are well-defined patterns that appear heavily, eg every example of a + b where a and b end in 2 and 3 respectively will have a 5 at the end 140
