1175 days into the AI revolution/disruption.... and Seedance 2.0

[El Presidente]

Hard to believe it's has only been 1175 days since Open AI launched Chat GPT. 

There are plenty of parts of humanity that are benefiting from AI. Medical research, energy research being just two. 

The traditional entertainment industry doesn't appear to be one of those who are going to benefit. 

ByteDance released Seedance 2.0 last week.  It is fair to say the entertainment industry is in shock. 

Rhett Reese, a scriptwriter known for his “Deadpool” films, said “For all of us who work in the industry and devoted our careers and lives to it, I just think it’s nothing short of terrifying,” he said. “I could just see it costing jobs all over the place.”

Take a look at this. Apparently 30 minutes to put together.

That video is just so realistic...it's incredible! I agree, jobs will go sadly.

Umm which way is up?

This level of AI generated content is nearing the endgame. It's not about generating original content for entertainment purposes. It's about altering "reality".  If people thought "fake news" was already brandished illegitimately, this will be the icing on the cake. Any news story that needs to support or discredit a narrative will have convincing audio video "evidence" to back it up.

AI is such a bad move. It’s already soooo advanced from when it first came out. No way that people won’t use it for their purposes, good or evil.

Those of us who use AI on a daily basis and work in the industry are happy to have our (current) jobs replaced, so we can be freed up to go work on other, more meaningful pursuits. Those who live in "surface reality" and never touch the stuff are terrified of being replaced. I think we've got quite a long way to go, but one mantra I've been sharing: "This is as bad as AI will ever be, today." -- It's just getting better and better by the minute.

We're in the "lift-off" phase, about ready for a hockey stick over the next decade. I believe we're in the second Gilded Age. Watch this PBS docu and tell me you don't see any similarities. Now, times were tough and quite odd, but would you go back and stop this if you could? A rising tide lifts all ships, but the water will be rough and choppy during the change.
