I disagree.
Fuck this data driven bullshit. We need to return to a time where executives with a vision are empowered. We need to have decisions made by the kind of people who say things like “I know only 10% of people watch Mindhunters but that’s the kind of show that brings people to our service”.
If things stay the way they are get used to watching 7-8 seasons of mediocre lowest common denominator bullshit and having your favorite shows cancelled after one or two seasons.
I can’t disagree with you, but the current executives and how they function can easily be replaced by current ai models. Would be nice to get innovation back, but all the competition is gone now.
Absolutely. I’m not advocating keeping the current dipshits that cancel shows that would have been kept around as “prestige shows” a couple decades ago. I just don’t want to see it get even worse by going harder on numbers alone.
There is still some completion. I particularly enjoy a lot of movies from A24. Although, they’re now worth a lot of money so will be interesting to see if they start to churn out garbage or keep making things that are different.
I meant competition in general, not just for movies. There’s basically 3 companies that own everything, and they collude rather than compete.
Artificial intelligence will never beat my natural stupidity :3
Having AI replace CEOs would be a huge profit boost for the company too! 😎🤙
Weird Al should create an AI of Weird Al, and call it Weird AI. I think that would settle the debate once and for all.
al ai al ai?
Monty Python is good even when it’s serious.
unfortunately Cleese in his elder years hasn’t really moved with the times. While this quote is fairly right-on, he’s also said a bunch of fairly right-wing crap too.
Edit: Didn’t know about his other views. I no longer consider his views forgivable.
He is remarkably progressive and lucid for his age, so I’m inclined to cut him some slack for the topics I wholeheartedly disagree about with him.
For example, his support for Brexit I find hard to forgive… but unlike most of the ghouls that supported it, he seems genuine in his opinions and remains at odds and vocally against the Global Far Right.
You kidding? He’s been railing against woke etc. He’s on the right of UK politics. Would probably be further if it was acceptable.
A very funny and clever man during his youth. That guy is gone.
What??
The guys is openly transphobic, is part of the whole “comedy is ruined because if woke” crowd, is anti immigrant and anti-muslim and like you said, is pro brexit, but you want to cut him some slack because he’s “genuine” in his transphobia and xenophobia???
Shit, first time I read the bit about transphobia. That is awful. Apologies, I don’t follow this crap close enough, consider my previous comment about cutting him some slack retracted, fuck this guy.
Well that sucks. I don’t really follow the stars or British politics, so I missed that. Disappointing.
If Terry Gilliam is an asshole I dont want to know about it.
Oh dear.
Reminds me of a famous quote from Danish humorist Storm P:
“He who understands humor as only humor and seriousness as only seriousness has misunderstood both”
Also from Hagakure (though I know it from Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai):
Among the maxims on Lord Naoshige’s wall, there was this one: “Matters of great concern should be treated lightly.” Master Ittei commented, “Matters of small concern should be treated seriously.”
Who will take blame when the company goes bankrupt?
Well, that one is on point.
We should get started post-haste.
There’s no! Time to lose!
I am confused.
There is currently no AI system/tool that can even do a fraction of CEOs job.
People don’t understand that CEOs are also employees and they would be replaced as soon as something valuable can replace them while making a acceptable amount of mistakes.
You’re being downvoted, but your right.
There isn’t an AI tool that can go out for 3 hour long £4,000 lunches with other CEOs.
There isn’t an AI tool that can do cocaine and play golf.
There isn’t an AI tool that can depend millions of dollars in compensation as a golden parachute when it massively screws up the company to the point where thousands of employees lose their jobs.
Take direction from a board, formulate a plan, no matter how bad or wrong and be confident of it. Sounds exactly like AI.
Lie but not in a traceable way to the board is actually the first step. And then the plan usually involves random layoffs since the 90s, since actually doing better is hard and the board just wants short term gains so they can leave.
That is my dream for AI tools - that creatives can very cheaply produce great entertainment without the blessings and wallets of the fat cats
