MelanieJaxn: If Prometheus was worthy of the wrath of heaven for kindling the first fire upon earth, how ought all the gods honor the men who make it their professional business to put it out! ~John G. Saxe
OctoberFerguson: I shall propose that video journalists have become like the Saxe's blind men. However, these people are well aware what the elephant is, willfully ignore of all but what they report.

joshua_saxe: A project that might be cool: a physical simulator whose output is text description, for training language models in spatial / physical common sense. Could output Q&A pairs; e.g. 'John dropped the egg from the second story window' -> 'Q: Did the egg break? A: Yes.'

Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!"
-John G. Saxe

IT was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.
dropsoul: How can you touch the entire elephant all at once?
