Finished reading HUNTER x HUNTER.
nishio I have finished reading all the existing color editions of HUNTER x HUNTER and the condition for activating the "curse of wondering about the rest of HUNTER x HUNTER" has been established. Are you okay? Will I be able to finish it? Isn't it "a thought that grows stronger after death"? At any rate, there's a black-and-white edition that precedes the first book, so I'll read that, and then I'll find a way to read the ones that haven't been published in book form yet...
heat_1nt I don't know why I'm glad that Nishio-san is so firmly in the HUNTER x HUNTER swamp!
0xikkun Reading HUNTER x HUNTER has become an industry standard because Mr. Nishio read it!
nishio I've recently verbalized the reason for this change in my value judgment as to why I've suddenly started watching Gundam and reading HUNTER x HUNTER, In short, the value of "acquisition of skills" that I've been focusing on is decreasing due to advances in AI, and the value of "common story" is increasing instead.
nishio "Skill acquisition" is "a resource accumulation within oneself" and is more valuable when others don't have the same thing, whereas "common story" is "[a It is a "resource that is accumulated between people". And at the moment AI is not good at the latter; even if AI could tell a synopsis, people would not have positive feelings.
nishio The composition is similar to the Plurality book "Trade-off between depth and breadth of cooperation", for example, playing Madamis (Japanese brand of haloperidol) together is a narrow and deep experience sharing, while reading a widely read story is a shallow and wide experience sharing.
nishio I thought the story was connected to this: Two forms of connection.
nagise I wonder if personalized, accumulated conversation records could easily make AI a psychological "companion" for people.
nishio When I wrote "at the moment" I meant "AI will probably replace it within a few years" Once a "shared story" is built between AI and humans, the composition will be the same.
And there will come a time when it will be easier for humans to work with AI than to build relationships with other humans.
