There is a race to the bottom in creating low-quality content at scale, but people still consume it. AI may be useful for generating spam-like content, but not for producing high-budget films. Movie studios might use AI to generate content and then underpay someone to edit it. Writers are concerned about AI undermining their working conditions. If production costs for films are zero, they will be sold for free. The movie industry is the luxury car of media, costing the most to produce and watch.
From the Metaverse to AI, tech giants continue lure us with false promises of "the next big thing." This week, Adam is joined by Dan Olson, a perceptive YouTube personality known for deconstructing narratives and the modern tech landscape. Together, they unravel the reasons behind this technological hype cycle and discuss potential pathways to break free from its grip. Find Dan's channel at Folding Ideas.
