But until then, Hollywood should prob not get rid of their competitive advantage: real people, doing real things, on the grandest scale imaginable.

Long-term, AI will probably lead to a READY PLAYER ONE type world. The differentiator will be the platform/world building, and real life stuff will be less of a premium there.

Hollywood mixing in AI isn’t necessarily a bad thing — but if they go FULL AI, there will literally be nothing differentiating them from YouTube, in the short term.

I can’t believe this happened, and it was So Damn Hard to make it happen. :) I’m so excited for you to see it — it’s 3-part series, and it comes out on JULY 24 on Peacock.

You are welcome to binge it, and I think you all will love it. :)

EPIC RIDE: the story of Universal Theme Parks

She loved the concept, and with her as the champion of the project — 9 months later I was officially brought on board as an EP, and developed it together with Universal & Peacock.

And a new notebook that I like too.

I got a new pen that I like.

‪Like musicians giving up on live concerts.‬

(Feel like the symbiosis worked well until around 2012 or 2015, just around when Facebook went public.)

& probably carrying a virus that could bring down our computer.

I’d probably trust AI more if it were *also* just copying what God made, rather than copying our human recreations of it.

But whereas God’s creation, or the universe, is pretty perfect, even just mathematically — we are not.

Our copies of perfection, we warp to use for both good & evil.

So by copying our degraded version, AI is now like a crappy version of a song downloaded on Napster —

The digital world, which we once hoped would help things last forever —
has instead become a daily seashore, washing away all memory of anything from the day before.

In my naïveté, I thought they’d be one of the few that made it.

But maybe in the end, only institutions actually last.

For a little longer at least.
