Techbros: Here's the detailed technical plans for a working Torment Nexus.

Everyone: Building a Torment Nexus is a horrible idea.

Techbros: Why won't people focus on the technical merits of the proposal.

Attached: 1 image I saw this ad today on LinkedIn. I think this is a glimpse of where things are heading with the SAG-AFTRA strike too - soon actors likeness will be a drag & drop tool where directors and producers can play god with their digital dolls, like some Titans in the clouds. This *is* the bad timeline and we should seek to discourage tools and system that remove the need for humans.

@tanepiper @chrisg

The thing that gets me is... once it's possible for people to make full movies without actors. Why do we need the hollywood studios anymore? Won't we just have independent film-makers doing fully AI movies by themselves?

@rastilin @chrisg In some sense I think it's inevitable, Hollywood won't disappear but it will become a factory pumping out all their derivative IP crap - hopefully artists can wrestle back control of the tools to enable new forms of creativity, but not at the expense of humanity
