The biggest thing companies want to do with AI is infinite cheap content. They want generate a movie or other entertainment for a 10th or even 20th of the cost while burning a state’s worth of energy. They’re going to try and generate a successful movie from models that are trained on previously successful movies. And, they’ll get it.
At least at first. Eventually, even we’ll burn out from endless selection of predictable movies and other entertainment. And, I’m not talking just once a year. More like once a month. At some point, hopefully sooner rather than later, they’ll learn that the attention economy is not infinite. There is a limit of people, time, and money. They’re putting most of their eggs in the this basket and I hope it smashes to pieces.
AI isn’t here to improve anything. It’s here to open a path to infinite growth. Infinite entertainment, infinite weaponizing, infinite whatever. More predictable, infinite growth. Problem with that is that we’re slowing as a race and sooner or later it will start shrinking. The more they try to take, the quicker this is going to happen.
Your pastor or preacher told you to do it, not your religion. Pretty sure there’s no explicit mention how to use or not use pronouns or using someone’s preferred name in the bible. Language is just arbitrary, made up bullshit anyways. Let’s reverse it, his name is no longer Jordan Cernek using pronouns he/his/him. Now, it Jerkin Cumneck with the special pronoun of shitstain.
Jerkin Cumneck is a dumbass. Shitstain shouldn’t bring shitstain’s political views to work. Jerkin should teach at a private christian academy because shitstain can be an obnoxious asshole over there without having shitstain’s fragile little mind broken every time shitstain has to use words that shitstain doesn’t like.
The man will work 12 hour days at some menial job and the wife will spend all day trapped with kids. Probably get divorced at some point because they find out the stress of everything has sucked the romance out of their marriage. The oldest won’t talk to one of the parents and the youngest will think it’s their fault.
This worked back in the old times because at least 2 or so of those kids would die from disease or war. There was cheapish land to go around to be on a farm or have some business. You probably had at least a three bedroom house and it allowed for some privacy. Also, families might help out each other so there could be some support.
It’s a load of shit to think this will happen the way you want. If this did happen, it would probably be some commune that is labelled as a capitalistic paradise and where every one should be. In reality, it would be forced communism with extra steps and new branding. Think company towns mixed with Handmaid’s Tale-type woman subjugation. Oh, the freedom is so bright that it burns.
To be fair, Linkin Park had plenty of popularity into the 2010s. Stuff is moving so fast that Gen Z or A are going hear Post Malone or Billy Eilish as a classic in about 4 to 5 years. Hell, they’ll say Billy Eilish is out of gas by the time she’s 30. Get ready for the AI avalanche, here’s a throwback remake of Harry Styles and Bruno Mars singing “Easy Lover” in the exact same style and audio quality that it was originally recorded in.
Who? Oh, didn’t even notice.
Oh, shut up, Nimarata “Nikki” Randhawa Haley. You don’t give two shits about America being isolationist or not. You only want Taiwan to stay independent because of its tech. If it was just any other island nation in the Pacific, you’d let China take it and not bat an eye.
You back a party that would turn on you and JD Vance’s wife, given a chance. They don’t care about you. They like white, seemingly Christian men. They would sooner suck Trump’s dick then shake the hand of Indian woman like yourself.
Most them have protections in place preventing use of their likeness. Directors and other high level professionals will probably have enough money to sue anything that comes out of Runway. It’s the artists, vfx, wardrobe, etc (i.e. low level people) that are going to get fucked. None of the savings will be passed to consumers and we will get derivative or rehashed works as a result. Only hope is that the money propping these AI replacements dries up because the studios can’t attract movie goers with the even more unoriginal shit they will try to push.
I just don’t think Bethesda has it in them anymore. Except for Id and formerly Tango Gameworks, Bethesda proper and a lot of the other studios it had, have just been missing the mark. Like a lot of big studios, they get big, start to regurgitate what they’ve already done, and then fail to capture people’s attention after a while.
Why do you think Valve’s employees haven’t pushed for many new games? Anticipation got too high and they didn’t want to compete with the legacy of Half-life or Portal. Half-life Alyx came out and it was decent, but it didn’t move the story forward that much. It was mostly about doing a good VR game. Now, they have Deadlock coming out and it has nothing to do with any of it’s previous games.
At a certain point, it’s like reading a book from an author that’s run out of ideas or hearing a song from an artist that doesn’t have anything relevant to say anymore. It’s time to move on and make room for someone wants to do something new. Only problem, these big ass companies are now mostly about making money and not about making games. They will ride whatever wave they can until they crash and burn.
Not really. Pretty much just move on at this point. TV shows are setting themselves up for failure. Got tired of waiting around for Rick and Morty and gave up on it. Got tired of waiting for Mob Psycho 100 or One Punch and probably won’t bother going back. At least there is manga of that if I want to read it. Getting tired of overly complicated, long paused stories that wind up letting you down.
Usually, I wait until after a show is done and then go back to watch it. Been let down too many times by shows getting cancelled or going on hiatus or just straight failing in the last seasons. There’s so much choice of entertainment these days that I’ll just find something else. TV shows are just leaving legacy of letdown causing some of them to be only remembered for how they failed.
Look at what happened to Game of Thrones. Cultural juggernaut for a long time and now… just sour taste in most people’s mouths from having a bad end. I foresee this happening more and more until people just stop waiting around and find more complete stories or just other types of entertainment.
It looks silly and I don’t have to hear or see crisp rat in it. People getting worked up over it not being serious or looking odd. It’s Minecraft, it was never going to be serious.
