AI video generation and filmmaking

If they downshift on a straight like they do in the movies, I'll call it out. That is the worst. Let me see.

I mean, it's crazy. You really have to notice in the... Like, that car didn't have headlights on and the other one did. And that looked like a 60-year-old version of me. But holy crap, the... Wow, that was crazy.

It's a good question because I think good art is very dependent on the same thing that good software is depending on: having a vision, having a cohesive idea of what you wanna create. How is it different? How is it novel? How is it going to appeal to people? But I'm not sure that the creative instincts transfer quite as well. Um, I don't know that I would have the creative insights to come up with good video prompts that would create compelling content. But it's funny because I have actually, on TikTok, there's this guy, I'm trying to remember, Goblin something. That creates these... They are shorts, but not super short, maybe a couple minutes, of really interesting sci-fi vignettes. And I think the guy is actually working on a feature-length video right now. Um, and I think that this is one of those abundance moments. There are creative people with that vision all over the place, especially in a genre like film, where before it required a $200 million budget to create, I don't know, a sci-fi movie. Now suddenly, with AI, if you have the right vision for it, you can do that in your bedroom. Now, that story's been told quite a few times in other domains. It used to be true that if you wanted to record a studio album, well, you needed a studio, and you needed to book that. And now you can record at home on your laptop, and you can do a lot of these things, right?

So we've had this democratization process happen with plenty of other domains, but film seems to be one of the last ones.

Oh, I'm super excited 'cause I think it's-

There's so much garbage being produced right now. It's the same argument with the slob, right? So people for a second were worried about slob in programming, and I was telling them, like, "Have you seen the human slob? It's also pretty bad." And I think if it comes to studio entertainment, I mean, the bar is pretty low, right? Like, the number of great movies I've been dying to see over the past, say, five years, not been a particularly high number.

Like the malleable operating system, having the malleable narrative, having malleable entertainment, that man, Game of Thrones, what if we could just forget the last four episodes of slob that was produced-... and then AI-... comes up with-... I don't know-... maybe 100 different variations, and someone else watches that, and I get the version that actually finishes off that show in a way that's fitting.
