- pederAnd then when it gets it wrong and you ask why it grew a nose instead of an ear: "You're absolutely right! I can fix this!"
- Because it's talking past each other. Very few people are literally asking for divine intervention, they're conveying wishes for a good outcome
- > At least a few of these, like payments and basic communications, can be done from a watch.
Is that a distinction without a difference?
- Utter nonsense. The scale of disruption with LLMs is almost unfathomable. Every small business in the country has basically abandoned the big platforms and expensive enterprises for IT support, marketing and digital content creation, HR, legal...
Patients are having detailed conversations about their health with LLMs. Office visits for routine questions are plummeting.
Software is written almost entirely by LLMs, producing a greater volume of code in a fraction of the time.
Rapidly, we are approaching a point where there is no need for junior employees in most organizations. It's not industry-specific, it's universal. This will reshape corporate Big Four accounting, software engineering, and medicine because revenue will shift so dramatically.
This is not just some marginally more effective use of computing resources.
- Most of the comments here feel like cope about AI TBH. There's never been an innovation like this ever, and it makes sense to get on board rather than be left behind.
- Are you intentionally missing the point? Our films made in the US are already neutered from a free-speech perspective because we're chasing opinions that are politically correct in China. We don't want to worsen that by bending to every foreign tax break. We should be making unapologetically American movies, and if foreign consumers still watch those movies, all the better. But we shouldn't be writing these to a lowest common denominator of politically correct speech. It's how we've arrived at a point where all we produce is Marvel slop.
- Well, yes. American films obviously have been soft on China because they've been desperate for access to the Chinese market. You don't bite the hand that feeds. In a similar way, if a significant amount of film production moves to the UK, it's likely that criticisms of the UK would be more muted. In the long run, this creates a national security threat when our media is inundated with non-neutral messages about other countries that are not acting in our best interest.
The easy way to see this is to reverse your lens. We've been the beneficiary of soft power from Hollywood for a century. It'd be ridiculous to lose that power without at least trying to preserve it.
- There are big issues with foreign cinema. We still have a lot of structural advantages in the US to producing films. Production has shifted to other countries because of significant tax incentives. These tax incentives are a way that other countries are frankly not playing fair.
The bottom line for me is that we shouldn't simply accept that films should all be filmed in Canada, Australia, the UK, or elsewhere. Hollywood has been the epicenter of creative jobs in this country for a century, and we should try to preserve it.
- There are things to sort out, but it's certainly doable. They can probably use direct COGS to determine the tariff basis.
- This tariff isn't an attack on Hollywood. This helps actors and staff in the Hollywood area.
- I'm not even sure it was ever true. I think it's just become part of the folklore of urban leftists, potentially as a way to justify their lives even when nobody was demanding a justification.
- Holy strawman, batman.
- And they're using drones infinity more than they did before drones were invented
- Or maybe they'll just go for it and see if this was a bluff by the govt
- It has?
- This is like the 90s Christian companies that would strip out violence/language/sexual themes from movies and repackage them for families. I'm sure there's a market for woke-washed books, but I can't help but sense the same puritanical forces at play here.
- Also better make sure your device doesn't receive a software update that wipes out access in the future based on some arbitrary licensing decision.
