A photo taken through the window of a train. The name of the station "Newton for Hyde" can be seen on a sign. Inside the train a piece of paper is held up to the window with a sketch of a bewigged gentleman holding up a sign saying "Leibnitz for Jekyll"
Nerdy joke warning. 😁 I've been planning this since I first saw the Newton for Hyde sign.

What’s a technology that you think is overhyped?
I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry.
Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto.
It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

Science fiction is always optimistic because it posits a least one rational agent in the story 😀

La cuestión de fondo es la de siempre. Dices estar "oponiéndote y luchando contra ciertas ideas", pero en realidad estás creando contenidos, y la creación de contenidos tiene una lógica rara vez alineada con la supuesta intención
Alienear lógicas de redes sociales con los fines correctos es difícil

Yo daría un paso más. En algunos casos, el original es tan abyecto que no deberías repetirlo ni aunque la posible crítica sea perfecta. La abyección va a ganar...

En Superman, en el mundo pasan cosas
Hay una escena de varios minutos, donde Lois Lane y Superman charlan de lo suyo con una tremenda pelea de fondo
Superman simplemente sabe que sus compañeros superhéroes se pueden ocupar de esa situación y listo
Es un universo habitado

Un contraste curioso entre Superman y 4F es que en el caso de 4F el universo parece estático, reducido a ese equipo en concreto. No pasa nada que no esté relacionado con ellos. Una historia cósmica constreñida.

werner: does it tell you you're here at San Vincente, close to Sunset Boulevard:
interviewer: yeah, it's basically like a Google map
werner: but what does pokemon do at this corner here?
interviewer: you might be able to catch some. It's all completely virtual. It's very simple, but it's also an overlay of physically based information that now exists on top of the real world.
Werner: when two persons in search of a Pokemon clash at the corner of Sunset in San Vicente is there violence? Is there murder?
interviewer: they do fight, virtually
werner: physically, do they fight?
interviewer: the people or the....
werner: yes, there must be real people if it's a real encounter with someone else

Ni por ahí ni por nada.
Encima, Julia Garner como Shalla-Bal está asombrosamente desaprovechada. El CGI de la cara es tan malo que uno se pregunta por qué se molestaron en contratar a esa actriz

No se atreve a salir y plantear nada más que no sea la aventura, bastante genérica, que va a contar.
Por ejemplo, se plantea que la inteligencia de Reed le hace pensar todo tipo de escenarios horribles. Sue da a entender que eso en sí mismo es un problema. Pero nada más, no se sigue por ahí

Poster de la película The Fantastic 4
Los 4 Fantásticos bien. Eran mis superhéroes preferidos de la infancia, así que estoy predispuesto. La ambientación retrofuturística estupenda y los actores, sobre todo Vanessa Kirby y Ebon Moss-Bachrach, bastante bien
Pero la verdad es que esperaba más. Se queda encajada en sí misma
