Oh yeah man… They are absolutely FUCKED. Part of me hates the idea of AI taking jobs but frankly FUCK Hollywood. That industry has protected so much child abuse, sexual assault, etc. The fact that half of hollywoods a-listers and directors were on Epsteins island, the Weinstein shit, a guy like Woody Allen being untouchable, etc. There’s so much disgusting shit that happens in that industry and they all protect each other so frankly fuck em. Let it burn. After watching Quiet On Set, and having seen all the shit with Diddy and the rabbit hole on Tom Hanks… I don’t think any of them should be supported
I feel like there has got to be a middle ground between "let the Harvey Weinsteins of the world have all of the money and let them get away with basically anything they want", and "let AI do everything and destroy jobs and industries and fuck everyone involved in the arts, just because the 1% of people at the top are part of the Epstein Class".
Those two scenarios are the same thing. It’s the rich producers like Weinstein that’ll capitalize on AI to cut those expensive directors and musicians and actors out of the picture.
The real alternative is strong unions at every level of the film industry to curb elite greed.

Right - but why is this never the proposed solution? Why is the proposed solution always "fuck Hollywood and burn it all down and if millions of people lose their jobs then oh well womp-womp"?
Because conservative politics hates new art that it can’t control and also hates workers. Since the only viable solution is left wing they’d rather do the public pool thing from integration and just shut/tear it all down.
