Comment on Disney's Sora Disaster Shows AI Will Not Revolutionize Hollywood

It’s like all of this is the fault of a pattern of human nature, instead of one specific technology.
The difference between a human artist working with digital media vs analog media is a difference in materials.
The difference between art and AI is AI is a lossy compression algorithm used to steal other human’s art.
You can use anything to make art, AI techbros didnt prove that, my point is AI is a shitty self-defeating tool that hides the theft of our public commons of shared art made by humans behind a bunch of bullshit technobabble.
The difference between art and AI is AI is a lossy compression algorithm used to steal human art in a legally defensible way.
If we can compress the entirety of human art, music, literature made by billions of people into the size of a 4-10 GB model, at around 1 person per byte, then we must have not been very creative in the first place.

What an awful, cynical way to look at reality.
You were the one suggesting that all of human art could be compressed into a file that could easily fit on a USB stick:

These are your words.

Remember when Pixar and DreamWorks destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in order to erect enormous Gray boxes filled with computers that run complex operations 24/7, consuming massive amounts of fossil fuels and fresh water, leading to unmitigated pollution; not to mention political corruption, global surveillance, rolling back privacy protections, and economic gangsterism that hasn’t been seen in 100 years?
People be like “ai is just a tool” and yeah, but thats also incredibly reductive considering what AI actually is. Maybe it is a tool, but it is a tool that uses us, not the other way around. What gets called a pattern of human behavior, used to cause wars and uprisings. the pattern isnt something essential to human nature, it’s socially constructed.
The fact that we find ourselves in these patterns over and over shows that the ruling class has learned to fuck us in a way so that we complain but not actually try to do anything to change society. Which shows the lack of actual freedom we have in order to live by our actual human impulses.

You act like data centers are a new concept that was invented in the 2020s. We’ve had data centers even before we had the Internet.
Rich assholes make those kind of decisions to pump trillions into AI pipe dreams, just like the rich assholes who run Hollywood.
That’s because we’re too scared to project violence to solve the core problems. The best we have is useless protests that don’t sway psychopaths, because psychopaths don’t have feelings.
