| This is actually how disruption works Hollywood didn’t exist in 1700. Now it’s one of the largest industrial employers in the world with massive Unions and solidarity movements (which are good imo). Mainstream Hollywood can’t use genAI in a way that doesn’t get push back because like every other intentionally built industry, it’s primarily focused on maintaining labor infrastructure for people who join the “entertainment industry.” Indonesia doesn’t have an entire multi million person “entertainment industry” to protect, and “technology” has now lowered the barrier of entry to “hollwood style” movies. The question you should be asking is: Do movie consumers, ultimately representing the voting public for entertainment labor supply, support the industry of entertainment or do they not care and just want something to distract them? History indicates that transactional consumers don’t care about any supply chain, value steam etc…or labor share of a market. This is the entire goal of transactionalisn - alienating consumers from producers through intermediaries. So if using generative technology genuinely shifts consumer preferences then thats what’s going to happen. The only way out of all of these problems is if the plurality of people choose to consume based on the holistic approach to understanding externalities, system dynamics and human community development. Never going to happen. I’ll be interested to see what these Indonesians come up with. |
The only reason generative AI isn't used more is because the results are often poor. Companies have been promising things like automatic rotoscoping for some time. It sort of works.
