"new tools let people bypass the old gatekeepers"
and yet kane parsons didn't use the "new tools", he learnt filmmaking and VFX from scratch and succeeded anyway. Where are these gatekeepers? Not a single soul is stopping you from learning how to do what he does.
Kane Parsons’ comments about AI feel a little too clean to me.

So hearing him talk about AI like it is purely harmful feels weird.
Not wrong.
