People will be laid off
Spoils will be enjoyed
This great economy… it will endure
The working class will survive!

It will be really interesting to see how long it actually takes before this can be done accurately enough to execute a directors vision and high quality enough to actually make a film from. It could be anything from a few months to decades, it’s so hard to know how much we are actually able to control these models to get them to do what we really want accurately enough.

We went from Will Smith eating Spaghetti to Sora in just 12 months. Whatever the time period turns out to be I think it’s safe to say that it will be far shorter than most people would like.

I mean most new technologies have a period of explosive growth followed by eventually slowing down and making only gradual gains. So it really just depends if we’re near the end of that development or if there’s still more explosive changes to come.

Probably you are right, but so far no one has demonstrated any LLM that can be controlled within these tight types of adjustments and it feels like it might be something that the technology just never is able to do. We might have to wait for a whole new generation of technology for this.

We may but this tech is advancing at a pace we haven’t experienced since the 90s. If you weren’t around back then I can tell you that “next generation” literally happened every 12 months or less.

This is a Hollywood killer and I’m all for it. I’m tired of them dumping millions into the same drab script while hogging all the profits.

Every job lost is a potential new indie company, fuck Hollywood.

The money will be dumped into AI

The new scripts will be derivative mashups of the old scripts.

An independent will create a successful film

The new scripts will be derivative mashups of that script.

It’s a step up from what we have right now which is basically no independents and every script being a derivative mashup.

Does this hopefully mean he’s throwing in the towel? Orrr, is he just going to save money by being an early adopter? (screaming noises)

To be fair, most Tyler Perry movies could be replaced by minute long clips of stock footage with some filters stuck on them.
