Fortunately, that is sure to fail. Unless we find a way to make ai have a desire to spend. No money to spend? No products to sell. Entire system goes out of balance.
Yes, but will humans realize that before everyone has starved and the knowledge of how to do those things is gone?
Everyone boo this studio
The need for UBI continues to grow at an alarming rate.
best we can do is 100 free chatgpt queries per month. If you can’t make a living from that you need to catch up.
Will never happen. Those at the top would sooner fund extermination squads to round up the poor than send a single cent in aid.
In a way they already are, with the rich people funding the far right extremist ecosystem.
Lionsgate hopes to save “millions and millions” replacing all those tawdry storyboard artists and visual effects crew with “cutting-edge, capital-efficient content creation opportunities,” said vice chairman Michael Burns.
that sounds entirely unfit for human consumption. I can’t wait for Saw XV: Capital-Efficient Content Creation Opportunity! pump that melty-faced banal nonsense straight into my consumer veins!
“There was a whole chain of separate departments dealing with proletarian literature, music, drama, and entertainment generally. Here were produced rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime, and astrology, sensational five-cent novelettes, films oozing with sex, and sentimental songs which were composed entirely by mechanical means on a special kind of kaleidoscope known as a versificator.”
I hope it goes tits up right quick.
I can count the times I went to the cinema in the last 10 years on 1 hand. Only “Interstellar” was worth the big screen.
I don’t know why people dislike that movie. It rocked my socks
It had dumb scientists, a weird love conquers all theme, a bathetic climax that was also on the wrong side of believable and an extremely tacked on epilogue.
Wouldn’t say that I hated it, but it was pretty flawed for what it was. magnificent black hole cgi notwithstanding.
It’s cheap space Sci-Fi for casual viewers.
I am positive that usual Sci-Fi fans didn’t like it that much.
the ending was stupid, quantum library bullshit was lame af.
Complete waste of time, which fits with the theme of the movie.
I think I would have liked it better if they had cut another 60-80 minutes from it.
It was so ungodly long
Who hates Interstellar? Inception I believe, but I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who hated Interstellar. Not that they can’t exist, due to my experience or anything.
I absolutely hated it, all the worse for doing all my favorite genre’s trappings so well only to tie it all with a magic bow of stupid.
I hated Inception (and Dark Knight) so much that I can now hate every new Nolan movie without having to watch them. Bliss!
The Hollywood bankruptcy auctions in a few years are gonna be lit
I can’t wait to see their next horror movie, Eleven Fingers.
Ah yes, the enshittening continues
Not even slightly bothered by this. The “industry” has always looked for ways to minimize production costs while optimizing profits. They are in the volatile high risk business of selling art for profit.
What successful studios understand is you have to take the losses with the wins, take risks and champion new artists. Placing trust in the artists to know what will be profitable.
The studios that rely on gimmicks, regurgitating old ideas and building projects like they are in the toilet paper business are the ones that die. Lionsgate is simply signaling that it doesn’t know what it’s doing and will pivot or die.
The art of filmmaking only works with human hands, there is no amount of 3D,4D, IMAX, recliner seat CGI in your face AI that will replace it. They are selling bespoke handcrafted free range storytelling. The second the audience smells preservatives, Lionsgate will be filing for Ch11.
I’m worried the studios might be too big to fail. Or rather, too big to fail fast enough not to have the fallout of their loathsome ideas screw all of us over.
They don’t make non-“smart” TVs anymore and that’s not because nobody objected.
What are you gonna do when the other major studios follow suit, adding that sweet sweet AI aspartame in their franchise schlock? Not go and see Batman vs. Darth Vader 3: The Rebackening? Watch an indie movie instead? Don’t make me laugh. Your friends are already depicting you as a soyjack who insists on watching foreign 6-hour black-and-white silent films about communism.
I can’t say I know what Liongate’s plan is, precisely, but I think you’re hitting this on the head.
Remember. Most corporate strategy could be summarized as persuading investors for more debt. It doesn’t really tell the whole story of what is or will happen, only what needs to be said loudly in a room full of fools holding the money bags.
Yuck!
seeing overpaid movie stars get replaced by ai will be fun.
Most them have protections in place preventing use of their likeness. Directors and other high level professionals will probably have enough money to sue anything that comes out of Runway. It’s the artists, vfx, wardrobe, etc (i.e. low level people) that are going to get fucked. None of the savings will be passed to consumers and we will get derivative or rehashed works as a result. Only hope is that the money propping these AI replacements dries up because the studios can’t attract movie goers with the even more unoriginal shit they will try to push.
Yeah this isn’t the plan.
The plan is to get the stars in for a couple of days in front of a green screen, have them say their lines, then use “AI” to generate the rest of the scene. You want to get rid of all the labor around scouting sets, getting permits, constructing them, lighting them, feeding the crew etc. That’s where a big part of the cost of making a movie lies.
