So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Also? The musicians union called out AI before the actors went on strike about it.
The actors never supported the musicians. Not one peep from any of them.
But when it's them?😱

Every bit of this is horrific, the misogyny, the racism, the economic top tier-ness outrage. I’m worn-down exhausted from the assault on all those fronts, but not done yelling about it all.

Pretty much. We live in a sick society that doesn't care what women and children think or say; but the rich and powerful? Now they get all the protections in the world.

It's maddening.

You're outrage is based on a memory rivaling a goldfish. This isn't the first time A.I. has been a major point of contention in the entertainment industry. The workers has fought tooth and nail to try and get protections. It was a major issue during the last strike.

If AI fake Scarlett Johansson and AI fake Nicole Kidman were mud wrestling, I think the same outrage would still be there, but for the same reasons, money, power, and control in a male-dominated environment.

That's because a lot of rich white men of the Boomer and older wave of Gen X generations only wanted to be famous in the first place so that they could freely treat women like property and abuse children without being punished. Just ask Elvis Presley.

Given how seriously Tom Cruise took the threat of MOTION SMOOTHING some years ago, no doubt he'll be many times more worried about a technology that's not only a threat to the livelihoods of millions in all creative industries, but one that could also destroy mankind & reality as we know it. ...Tom?

And it’s still not the “Hollywood Killer” that the AI Hype Bros claim it is. That “fight scene” is the worst fistfight anyone has ever choreographed, the shot choices are pedestrian, and the only interesting thing is the rendition of Brad Pitt’s bloody face… but even it changes between shots.

Of course not (at least, it wouldn't get far)... they're too influential and have the means to drag those companies/users to HELL. They're also among the few who could actually UNITE Hollywood behind the cause. Similar to Scarlett's lawsuit over the unauthorized use of her voice for an AI-assistant.

The law is so far behind we do not even have laws for revenge porn. This is the problem when the average age of lawmakers is older than the computer. Money is the only motivation and unfortunately women and children's wellbeing has never been valuable.

What's the most super duper part is that they believe it was a two line prompt. That footage took many prompts and revisions to even put together. They're trying to lie about the super powers. Great tech. But don't let them pretend it's as simple as they make out.
