I agree with this only because OP specifically limited their criteria to most big movies, excluding indie.

What’s really going to happen is that everyone will generate their own independent films and eventually no one will pay much attention to big movies anymore. When does that happen? I’d say around 10-15 years before the AI-generated films can truly hang with the big films. But hey I’d rather watch something like Clerks than the latest capeshit anyways… so if AI can generate really good characters, plots, and dialogue in 5 years but is still 5-10 years away from AAA visuals, it won’t matter at all to me.

I think with the advancements of this type of tech there will also be advancements in other types of supplemental tech. Lab grown food, terraforming, etc. I’m not worried about resources running out for humanity once we reach AGI and ASI.

I also think as more and more of our workforce gets automated we will have to institute UBI or something similar, but ultimately we will become a post-scarcity society where people don’t have to work at all and where everyone will be able to cheaply acquire or create anything they need.

What really fascinates me are the social ramifications that perhaps even our generation will experience: imagine being the same physical age as your children AND grandchildren. That’s a really weird possibility that seems like it might be on the table for us. How do marriages work if you’re living 250 years? How do families work or friendships? How does crime and punishment work? Are we going to imprison murderers for centuries? Will people start wearing full mech suits knowing that if they die it’ll be hundreds of years of life missed instead of 50-70 years?

As you say there will be very large disruptions, tons of which we probably won’t even anticipate. The near-ish future is gonna look completely different to the world we’ve grown up in. The 90s and 2000s will seem literally medieval compared to the 2060s. I really hope I’m here to see it all.

Great summary, thanks.

>Further, when they did the opposite, by increasing the epigenetic noise in very young mice, suddenly the mice started resemble old mice (frail, low stamina, grey hair, weight loss, etc), which is further evidence that epigenetics are indeed playing a significant role in aging.

This to me is the most fascinating and important part. Being able to shift aging both ways makes the “noise” argument very convincing.

That said, I’m checking my hype until the primate trials show the same results. It often seems like every new health or disease treatment out there works on mice and then we never hear about the treatment again.

The studio absolutely gets screwed if their 10-years-in-the-making game sucks ass compared to some new studio using ChatGPT (or a more advanced GPT) and making a better game in 3 years. The workers get screwed no matter what, that ain’t changing and will only get much worse as AI continues to be incorporated into game design.

Thank you. This sub gets a little out of hand sometimes. I love it but sometimes people get way too high on hopium.

Damn I wonder if someone could mod that into Skyrim now. It seems much more possible with some of these tools that are coming out lately.

It makes me wonder about games taking a decade to build and how that’s gonna start harming studios in a major way. GTA 6 release date is not even announced yet and it’s likely that by the time it actually does release, stuff like ChatGPT might start being incorporated into other games, making the GTA 6 NPCs seem extremely primitive in comparison.

I respect the honesty of being underhanded in a debate.

It’s crazy how fast these ideas spread in the age of social media. I felt like I was super early coming to this sub and a few of us having these predictions of using AI to generate custom blockbuster films in the near future. A month later the exact same idea and timeline is gaining traction on publications like Vulture.

Try to get there in the autumn if you can, early November is amazing for the leaves.

Man I’m hyped I wanna go back next year lol

Very nice, tough to beat Tokyo. If you get a chance to go back definitely check out Kyoto, it’s an amazing city

Nice, that’s an awesome idea for a honeymoon. What cities did you go to?

I’ve been fortunate to have traveled a good bit the last decade pre-pandemic. But I’d definitely like to see New Zealand as well as more of the UK. Japan is by far my favorite country to visit, so I’d like to go back there for sure. Germany and France would also be cool to visit.

need to get a lot of health issues cured, but once that happens it will be a combination of traveling/exploring irl and then enjoying the games and vr experiences that are forthcoming. also making music with my friends and supporting my local music scene. eating out at restaurants, spending time with my family.

once aging is reversible I’ll play basketball and workout a lot too.
