  • AI doomers in MI:FR

    So in FR, there’s a “rogue AI” that starts taking over cyberspace, and quickly gains control of the nuclear arsenals of some countries. This prompts some people to believe that the AI will bring about a humanity evolution event through doomsday, so they decide to go full Basilisk and begin infiltrating different organisations in order to help the AI take over the world.

    Compare & contrast to LW doomers, who nominally want to prevent AI from going rogue or killing everyone, but are also nominally supposed to infiltrate various organisations to stop AI development, up to and including nuclear strikes on data centres (lol)

    Anyway, best moment for me was when the MC fights an AI doomers and tells him he spends too much time on tje internet.

















  • Also: if it were possible to create a shot for much cheaper, what is the point of a studio?

    My understanding is that you never make a movie with your own money because A. it’s expensive and B. you will probably make a loss, so you go to studios to try sell the film. They also understand A. and B., but they can use that as leverage against you for owning various rights of your production, in case it goes well, and otherwise to tie you down with contracts so they can force you to do their bidding. Making film production cheaper weakens the power of studios- the only card they’ll have to play is distribution, which is dying anyway thanks to the streaming ghouls.
