GOSH

Anyways this is real good

studio execs & major outlets claim AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over Hollywood. the reality is much different. i spoke with filmmakers, producers, and editors about how AI is actually showing up in productions – and what it still can't do:

the most ridiculous and least useful, but boring, answer for me is "hire an army of temps to buy so many lotto tickets that my odds of winning approach a coinflip"

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what's our track record on recognizing whether we're on a parabolic or sigmoid curve while we're on the up-elbow, tho? that kinda informs my prior. of course 'quality of result vs number of params' is hard to graph because that first thing isn't readily quantifiable in a way that matters.
