This is how Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos avoids paying a personal income tax - For the last 20 years he’s had the same salary, $82,000 - He does this because a higher salary that would support his lifestyle would be subject to payroll and income tax, he doesn’t want to pay that - Instead all his money is in his stocks, those are never subject to any taxes as long as they aren’t sold - He takes out a loan and borrows against his stocks - The only money he’ll ever had to pay is the loan and interest on the loan This is common practice for billionaires so they avoid the majority or all of a personal income tax

If "Hollywood is cooked" then so is everyone peddling/making these kinds of AI videos. The natural sales funnel for something like this doesn't sustain itself with just "creators", especially when they are self cannibalizing their own skills. It's going to cut right to the end user. A monthly subscriber will type a prompt on their Disney Plus app "Action comedy, where Tom Cruise plays Iron Man and Sydney Sweeney is Black Widow"-- and they will get a full garbage movie on-demand that they can click play and watch after a five minute wait. And it's even more bleak than that. Because no one else will watch it. There will be no cultural conversation about it, no event, no interest, because everyone else who is lacking in taste will be making their own on demand nonsense. This is why it's very foolish for self-professed filmmakers to align themselves w this current marketing push from AI companies. They'll go down with the ship they are hitching a ride to, all while burning bridges with fellow creatives whose careers they ruined
