Hollywood’s Fight Against A.I. Will Affect Us All: Screenwriters, actors, authors, and artists are fighting to ensure that human beings are not shunted to the margins of our culture.::Screenwriters, actors, authors, and artists are fighting to ensure that human beings are not shunted to the margins of our culture.
LMAO imagine thinking you can fight this.
If a robot is going to take your job, stop bitching to courts and either learn to use the tech to improve or find a new job.
This shit is happening, you can’t put it back in the bottle, and you’ll just be replaced by someone living with less restrictive laws.
Countries that join in this absurd protectionism will fall behind economically.
The way a technology is regulated has a huge impact on society. Intellectual property is an artificial construct, completely created by regulations and has to be redefined for new technologies that interact with it. With AI, there are a lot of Questions regarding intellectual property that have to be answered, which will define who own and profits from it. Why shouldn’t creators try to lobby for favourable laws?
Because the rest of the world exists. Can you name a single technology that massively boosted productivity but was regulated at a global scale successfully? Do you think a country with low goods export is going to hamper it’s competitive advantage because some highly paid (yes American writers are highly paid compared globally) Hollywood writer says this is bad?
They have a term for this. Luddite.

Internet has tons of regulation. Pretty much all of chemistry. Try to buy some radioactive material. Copyright when it came to printing books. You know international law and treaties exist? There is this whole thing called patents that regulates new technology. Obviously AI will be also heavily regulated - what are you smoking, my friend.
Poor example, because the Luddites were correct.
They weren’t anti-technology, they were anti-capitalist/proto-capitalist workforce reduction and replacement to make the do-nothing owners richer.
They obviously lost their fight, but they get smeared as anti-intellectual morons in capitalist education systems for a very propagandistic reason.
I wish that people could fight it but it is not likely.
I think the opposite. We need to fight to embrace it so that all people have access to it. That is how to level the field. Or else they will use these cases to lock it away and then only the power brokers will have access to it. It’ll become yet another tool for the rich and powerful to insulate against the rest of us. If we all have equal access or as close as possible then at least there will be more benefit and more ability to understand the capabilities.
These cases will be used to lock the technology away from common people. Its a trojan horse
How does this play out? I suppose the three options are pure AI content, mixed, or pure human. At a guess the unions/guilds will do their best to nix mixed. So let’s assume the extremes.
It’ll be interesting to see if consumers are willing to watch mostly our ai generated stuff and /or pay extra to see live humans act out stuff written by humans.
