Those gigs aren’t meant to substitute a full-time job. The artists and screenwriters at the bottom of the end credits have ( or should have ) another career besides entertainment, or own a business.
What I’m pointing at is the lack of talent and imagination. Rehashing old stories and mutilating them “for a modern audience” isn’t talent nor imagination and getting paid a 1000 a day for that is good money.
They also bemoan the advent of A.I and how it threatens their career in the industry. If a writer or artist is so concerned with A.I replacing them then that means there isn’t much talent there to begin with and the box office results of the past few years show how disconnected Hollywood is from the rest of the world.
In this strike I support the studios. Let’s see a few years of good quality blockbusters then maybe those activi- I mean actors and writers would deserve a raise. It’s that way for any other industry and the film studios are there to make money, not lose millions of dollars due to woke scenarios and actor/activists insulting the very audience for whom the movie is made.
Good thing I decided to check the forum or I wouldn’t have known about it.
AI can make many creative jobs as of today, at least good enough. It can also do stuff that actor couldnt, like perfect voice or impersonation on screen. Many people will have to find a new job soon.
Plenty of actors and comedians do perfect impersonations. And I’d like to see A.I try to top Heath Ledger’s performance in The Dark Knight.
An A.I will never be able to convey the depth of the human soul on the silver screen or on canvas for the simple reason that A.I has no soul.
I think the possibilities of A.I are exaggerated and the tendency of spreading hysteria throughout the populace is all too prevalent.
The soul is already being learned and imitated by AI programs. 
Voice AI Synthesis Guide here a small sample
We dont know. We can underestimate it thinking we exaggerate it. 
It just imitates. It has nothing to convey as an A.I actor, it cannot get into the role of a human being, say, Caesar or Shakespeare and give it it’s own twist based on personal life experiences, emotions or imagination because it doesn’t have any.
It can write a script but it cannot come up with a story other than what’s been written before and is online. It may be able to combine notions and write a coherent story but anything it could come up with will not be original in the sense of “never thought of before”.
A.I is a no-brainer 
You may write that now, but in future that same text can make AI accuse you of horrible discrimination.
I’m trembling in my boots.
In future, when AI will be taking positions from lawyers to overseers of production and to health industry, everything can happen.
We could be turned into compost for a plant-based lifeform genetically engineered to link the A.I with the physical world. Nano bots would polinate the A.I plants and create new ones, adapt to new environments and in millions of years a new species would appear on earth:
If we will not have to use our brain much then it would atrophy with each generation, if we offload all the thinking to AI, we will end up living like trees, in one place, fed and watered by AI with artificial bodies, that would produce themselves. But with time, intelligent or not, we would be turned into compost anyway.
Time to go to sleep. Nighties lovelies!
He is coming over is all I wish to share and I”m not drinking too much alcohol tonight!
Timezone lovelies. 
amazing how much you can take with you on bicycle
Time to go to sleep… and forget about Lk-99. Nighties lovelies!
Also: I wondered how long would take for Thunderf00t to do his take…
…but the wait was worth it. Cheap liquid nitrogen temperature “high temperature” superconductors already exist and have existed for 30+ years. The problem is that they are useless and when you need useful superconductors you go for the bloody expensive liquid helium temperature superconductors which are made of metal. Not a metal phosphate which has all the amazing mechanical properties of your teeth (lead phosphate isn’t all that much different from calcium phosphate, just it’s heavier and toxic). Can you make a wire out of your teeth? And the thing is, you can’t have metallic high temperature superconductors. That’s not how reality works. If it’s a metal and it’s at non-liquid helium temperatures, it can not be superconductive. And the stuff that becomes superconductive at liquid nitrogen temperature are metals doped with other stuff that prevents them from behaving like metal and rather crystalizes them into ceramics.
Really, watch the video. He completely and totally murders the topic without even looking much at Lk-99. But then, Thunderf00t (Phil Mason) is a professional researcher in nuclear chemistry and he just happened to get his graduate working with high temperature superconductors back in 1995-97.
Hmm, I would really like something usefull this time tho.
If not, well, nothing changes… 
TikTok aren’t the thing. They’re the thing that gets us to the thing… nah.

I love DEBUNKED! videos. Last series I watched was on Common Sense Skeptic channel. He goes by the numbers on outlandish claims, literally.
I also watch Common Sense Skeptic, just not as regularly as Thunderf00t. I’ve always loved debunking stories and learning how to use critical thinking. It saves a lot of disappointment in the long run and preserves the sense of awe when something is really amazing. Keeping that abbility to feel awe is a bonus when we grow old, IMO, and it’s good to not have it spoiled by endless rows of snake oil sellers.
And now I’m going to bed, to get some sleep and midly interested to know who will make it first to the lunar south pole, the Indian probe or the Russian one, and wishing good luck to both teams. Sending robots to other worlds is never an easy job and to many scientists it may be half of their career, since they involve themselves on the initial plans and until they’re done analyzing their data from the instruments. Easily takes 15 to 20 years, with the threat that it all might vanish in an instant…
Nighties lovelies!
