Listening to Ben Affleck on how AI will change filmmaking economics, reminds me of Matt Damon talking about how streaming changed DVD economics. The “Good Will Hunting” guys can cook on business of film:
📢Thrilled to introduce the #VirtualLab: a team of AI scientist agents (AI chemist, AI reviewer...). Virtual Lab is led by an AI professor w/ feedback from human scientist.
The Lab created new nanobodies that we experimentally validated to bind to recent #covid variants🚀🧵
Finally a grounded take on AI & filmmaking from a Hollywood A-lister. I agree with everything Ben Affleck said:
1. Yes, AI will shatter barriers to entry. Budgets will drop, the number of movies will rise, and more voices will have access to filmmaking. Paradoxically, this'll raise the bar for creative quality.
2. Yes, AI will hammer the VFX industry. It's already in a downward spiral, and AI will accelerate that decline. Short term arbitrage oppty, long term an awful business to be in.
3. Yes, customized episodes on demand are inevitable. We'll see new episodes of Game of Thrones long before AI can create an entirely new, coherent and compelling series. Incremental episodes will beat full season automation.
4. Yes, Generative AI is replacing traditional AR filter pipelines. Just look at tools like FLUX AI avatars or Pika Effects. IP holders will create branded content where audiences can "become" the Avengers.
Folks are calling these statements wishful thinking. IMO they're grounded in a clear understanding of the state of the art. Agree/disagree?

@TfL you suck. I'm stuck in Dalston kingsland for the last 45min. Saw 3 trains passing by, all full. Why don't you add more trains on this line? It's always the same shit! Don't you learn sometimes from your data?
