@JoshDaws Gatekeeping what exactly?

💯A lot of AI hate is thinly veiled gatekeeping.

@JoshDaws @Rahll You just contradicted yourself

@Rahll I wrote and directed a feature film and dozens of short films with my brother. Had to give it up to provide for my family. Now I can jump back in thanks to generative AI.

AI folks love to pretend it was gatekeepers that prevented them from pursuing art, like someone stepped into their house and slapped the pencil out of their hand and blocked them from YouTube, because it's easier than admitting you have zero passion for actually creating things.

@Diesol Even if so you ain't gonna be in on it Dave. You're a talentless poser trying to milk out a moment of stealing better filmmakers skill. But in the end you'll end up jobless long before 99% of traditional filmmakers

It’s inevitable.

@crystalwizard @Diesol You're an idiot that has no idea what they're talking about

yup. we're 4 years in. my prediction - stated quite a while back - is that in the next 2 years most of hollywood's good-ol-boy orgs like SAG-AFTRA will be begging people to come back and be members, and be going bankrupt - and all the hollywood creatives will be forming their own studios with them, maybe a couple good friends, and their own AI agents - making the content they really want to make, and making a good living for the first time ever

@Diesol This

This,

@mattworkman What will they be big brain?

If AI can generate your films/videos/3DModels, you need a more interesting job - and there’ll be many.

The Chair of the UK’s Sovereign AI Fund, writing in The Times yesterday, misrepresented polling data on AI - a mistake I think is significant enough to flag. Arguing that ‘Britain must embrace AI’, he said a poll last year suggested ‘only 13% of Britons wanted to “pause AI” development’. But this is false: the poll in question didn’t ask about pausing AI development at all. I’ve read the poll. The 13% figure he cites seems to be the pollsters’ own segmentation of a group they called ‘Tech Sceptics’ - which they created based on people’s answers to a range of questions, none of which asked about pausing AI. These included asking the extent to which people agreed with statements like “Britain needs to move fast in adopting new technologies". This was an op-ed in a leading national paper. It is obvious that polling showing low public appetite for pausing AI might be an attractive thing to include if you're making the argument he was making. But only if that polling actually exists. People will rightly believe the stats they read in The Times are true. So it is important they are - particularly when the author chairs a £500M taxpayer-funded unit, and is writing about questions of national AI policy.

@mark_k Pretty hard when they said at best it will take half your jobs and at worst it could kill us. Fuck AI

AI needs positive marketing right now, not fearmongering.

@IAmArcIvanov @ListenTower @CBSNews You are fighting for your life in these comments. Maybe go iron your slacks and watch some 2 and half men

@ListenTower @CBSNews > was certain to be worse off than their parents I'm hearing this shit for already 30 years. Millennials were supposed to be worse off until their net worth became highest of any generation in history adjusted for inflation.

University of Central Florida commencement speaker Gloria Caulfield was met with boos after calling AI “the next industrial revolution” during a May 8 ceremony, sparking a mixed reaction to her remarks.

@IAmArcIvanov @CBSNews Hey idiot. You're the dumb minority in this

@CBSNews Revoke the diploma from all the graduates who booed - they are too dumb to hold degrees. It's the same people who would've booed Internet vs physical mail or Google when it came out.

@pmarca More interesting

Interesting.

Guillermo Del Toro receives a long standing ovation after the screening of ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ at the #CannesFilmFestival and says “fuck AI” in his post-screening speech. Cannes boss Thierry Frémaux responds, “that was the first political statement of the festival”

@Markoslavnic A new generation of pathetic posers using stolen work

A new generation of storytellers is emerging. Some truly incredible, inventive, and humbling work.

@Mystiker1290 @growing_daniel You're an idiot. How do you think AI works?

@bigtoyroy @growing_daniel I wish AI was that based, but sadly the AI does not have artists chained up in the basement as slaves. No artist labor required!

It’s over for digital animation. This is too good. Guilds and unions will try to void it in Hollywood but it’s over, amazing full length films will be made by amateurs in weeks. They’ll need a distribution platform. Can anybody set a video to be a rental on YouTube?

@Diesol @CaptainHaHaa What work?

@CaptainHaHaa Right? Like bro I’ve been doing this for 20+ years 😂

I’ll say it once again. Most people creating compelling films with AI tools were artists, storytellers and filmmakers well before. But if it makes you feel better, go off.

@CaptainHaHaa @Diesol What did you make before?

@Diesol Thank you mate, they honestly just think we all just popped into existence 4 years ago.

@Diesol Like who?

Commencement speaker repeatedly gets booed by UCF students after she calls AI the 'next industrial revolution' • Students cheered when she said 'only a few years ago, AI was not a factor in our lives' • One student yelled out 'AI sucks'

@Markoslavnic Imagine trying to carve out a creative existence by stealing artists work

Imagine how exhausting life would be if you assumed every piece of content on the internet was made for you and required your opinion.
