    Yeah. For making a movie, back in the old days, you'd have to work your way up in Hollywood and then hope for a chance to get to pitch your movie idea to Universal or Disney. You'd have to prove your chops first. There was a power imbalance, with studios having all the money and the studios treating their employees like shit. AI upends this. Now, any kid with a dream and a GPU can genAI a movie into existence with some perseverance. This is a bad thing?

    Instead of having to blow a monied studio producer like Harvey Weinstein just so you could get your movie made, the starving young artist can now just... go make their movie. This threatens everything though, so thankfully a thinktank came up with a way to poison that well and stop that from happening. Can't have the creatives not be beholden to the financiers.
