Nothing Yudkowsky has ever done has impressed me as much as noticing the timestamps on the Mad Investor Chaos glowfic. My peewee brain is in shock.
How much coordination went on behind the scenes to get the background understanding of the world? Do they list out plot points and story beats before each session? What proportion of what I’m seeing is railroaded vs. made up on the spot? I really wish I had these superpowers, damnit.
“noticing the timestamps” not because there’s anything impressive in the timestamps themselves, but just because it indicates Eliezer is cranking out writing very quickly? I think there is at least sometimes substantial offline planning before a bunch of new stuff comes along. (And sometimes, when they wing it and it doesn’t work out, material gets reworked or just deleted, though neither of those happens very often.)
