I sure hope people can wake up! It is starting to become very bothersome to live around it. Hollywood is in full woke mind virus mode right now.

Hollywood is dead. I have written about that for a couple years.
I just wrote an article last night about how celebrity is likely on the wane. The Diddy situation will not help things.
AI is going to replace a lot of these people, including celebrities. People do not realize how quickly things are changing. It is also going to affect California. The ones who say the state always prevails, which is true up to now, have not considered what Southern California is like without Hollywood.
And it really has little to do with woke mind. It is technology.
Yes I see Ai coming and replacing the camera really fast, which means no film set builds, no actors, no lights and all that. And that's why I've started a new career as a contractor.
I was referring to being on set and surrounded by people infected with the woke virus is so ennoying.
As for P-Diddy check out this video at around the 2h mark:
That is what people do not think about: the spillover effect.
One replacement could take out a host of jobs. You are right, with generative video, you remove all the things such as sets, wardrobe, and makeup. Then you also have the auxiliary like food trucks and coffee services.
It's pretty simple, on a major contract feature film or TV show, we're around 400 people working. Once ai is good enough why would a producer choose to hire more than say 20 prompt engineers, and a few heads of departments?
My 30 year carrier in Hollywood is toast in 10 years tops.
Agreed.
It is clear how things are going to unfold. Sadly, for you, I am not sure you have 10 years. I am watching generative AI with video. What happens if that is up to image quality of today in, say, 3 years? Think of how that alters the economics of entertainment.
Quite simply, I think Hollywood will end up being crushed like the newspapers were 30 years ago. There will be fragments of the industry left over but that is all.
I think you're right. I tell all the younger grips to start looking for a different path as the fall of traditional film making is quickly on its way out. But they don't really believe it.
I have been saying 5 to 10 years but I think much closer to 5.
The tech has to get better but at the same time people will have to get used to watching unknown actors (ai actors, if actors aren't going along with selling their likeness)...
As we interact, Meta announced their version of Sora. They are not going to release it to public developers but are focusing upon people in the industry. That is what they claim.
I have no idea how good it is although Meta asserts it tops Sora (of course they do). Even if it doesnt, it is another one that will improve over time.
So yeah, 5 years, at most. The more we create outside these large companies, the better it is for everyone (although not great for jobs).
