It's so easy to imagine Lennon doing a Gollum that's funny for five seconds and then just incredibly irritating.


> Gollum that's funny for five seconds and then just incredibly irritating.

This is the canonical Gollum of the original text. Only half-kidding.

Now that I think about it, the Beatles probably could have made all those songs and rhymes from the source material really sing.

Only a matter of time before someone uses voice cloning and video generation AI models to make this, and when they do, I’ll probably watch it, or at least watch a YouTube personality do a deep dive on it.


If I’ve learned anything from here it’s that “AI” getting to this point is hardly a given within any relevant time frame. Of course, luckily we are surrounded by experts who I am sure will gladly point out why I’m wrong.

It is a fun kool aid to drink though. Super AI enabling us to do things like “computer compose the best symphony for me that has ever been made in the style of the Beatles and successfully trade on the stock market to make me rich .”


An AI composing a beautiful symphony is a lot more likely than an AI being unusually successful at the stock market. For the latter it would need to outcompete other stock market AIs.


I mean, 'compose the best symphony' is not easy because it's subjective, but certainly 'sing these lyrics in the style of the Beatles' is not future tech, it's now.

Similarly, AIs have huge successes on the stock market already, the reason you still can't really reliably make money doing this as an individual is because individuals don't have access to the same amount of information/data quality, they don't have high speed connections to exchanges, they're normally taking risks with their own money (that they can't afford to lose) and they don't have the compute that big firms can throw at it.


Yoko would have made a great Wormtongue though
