Hollywood is on strike because CEOs fell for Silicon Valley’s magical thinking::Inspired by the success of Netflix, Hollywood studios pursued Silicon Valley-style hypergrowth with tactics borrowed from the likes of Uber and Lyft.
Hilarious timing, considering that the only reason tech was able to act like that was thanks to excessively dovish monetary policy in the wake of 08… Which has now come full circle.
Hollywood is going to crash and burn because they think AI is free creative labor. But an exec can be replaced by AI much more ably than a creator already. Truly good creative AI is still not here. Not for what they’d need.
ChatGPT is actually very bad with numbers or following a step-by-step process. It just says things that sound correct. It doesn’t know what’s going on.
So it can only replace the bad executives who sound like they know what they’re doing. It literally can’t add 2 + 2.
“ChatGPT, read this SEC filing and these quarterly reports. Suggest high level areas for improving shareholder value and the performance of the business as a whole as an agenda for the next board meeting. Issue a statement to the investors. Then golf and do cocaine for three months.”
