this may sound kind of ridiculous, but one of the things I'm most excited for in the next evolution of TV/Movie writing is (hopefully) much increased accuracy of the material with LLM research. bsky.app/profile/adap...

Was watching Buffy’s Anya backstory episode. Friend asked why I sighed. “She’s not of a sufficiently high social class to have domesticated rabbits that far north in Europe in that century, but the writers couldn’t know, the paper was only presented at a conference yesterday.” Accuracy is fleeting.

There's no easy way to write reasonably accurate historical media without intense consultation from numerous experts. This is annoying because it creates a waterfall approach to writing where the literary experts and the informational experts are 2 separate collaborative audiences.

i.e. it's hard to write good stories if you need to go back and forth like this. Furthermore, it's hard to know who you need to consult or to get the access to such experts. Authentic writing is deeply difficult. Knowledge work made easier enhances our ability to better in this domain.
