Ai robotics is coming for overpaid labor. The market is unsustainable.
Hollywood, from 1912 to about 2012, existed by force. They lobbied US and state governments to legally extend copyright to infinity, and they snuck in anti-worker laws under the guise of "unions" in order to legally strip the supply of labor to increase their value. In both cases, bad laws actually infringed on the freedoms of millions, hundreds of millions., who wanted to tell story -- but weren't allowed unless they did it with the acceptance and support of the big production companies.
2012 that all changed: YouTube kicked the door in, and Hollywood labor laughed and laughed. They are still kinda laughing, but oh how the times have changed.
Today, if you have an iPhone ($400 used) and an idea, you can put a story together AND GET IT SEEN. There's no gatekeeper. The heavy labor forces are powerless because all they want to do is join hands with the blue haired legbeards and tell stories to guilt audiences -- but audiences want diverse stories outside of the "I have two dads" plots.
Ai is coming to HELP hundreds of MILLIONS of creators make content. Ai robots will push the overpaid, legally supply-limited forces out.
Let's quote a bit:
"Which owner of a Hollywood studio and streamer has invested heavily in humanoid robots" -- who cares? Hollywood studios are out of money, and the public union pensions can't risk anymore to invest in pro-DEI crap that doesn't pay a profit.
"The impact these robots will have on IATSE members and crews" -- but totally ignore the hundreds of millions of creators who have stories to tell and voices to speak???
"The dilemma these new tools will present to directors and writers" -- guild directors and writers who artificially limited the entry into the field? Why would we care AT ALL about them?
"How robots have already been used in Hollywood for years" -- to enhance efficiency to tell more stories and hire more people.
"Why AI-enabled robots represent a significant advancement" -- this is true, and a good advancement!
"What this all means for the future of Hollywood sets and the cost of production" -- nobody cares about Hollywood except the same folks who used it against the rest of the creators in the world?
The cost of production will FALL, but more labor will be hired since more people will afford becoming producers.
"The laws of robot morality that should guide our ethical conversations around the use of these robots" GTFO of here with ethics and morality. Hollywood thrived for 100 years on immoral and unethical actions just to get in the door. I know folks who were PAs who quid pro quo'd themselves into being strong creators in the field and all of them admit to the immoral and unethical things they had to do to get there -- admit in private, of course.
Ai is coming, and it's coming to force the monopolists and gatekeepers to live in their cars. And nobody outside of Hollywood will cry, except for your bought Senators and Congresspeople who won't get their gold coin anymore.
The title is off.
