Hollywood’s day of reckoning is here. Union or not, over 200,000 jobs are predicted to get chopped because of AI. And it’s getting FREAKISHLY good. Now Open AI can generate VIDEO footage from prompts — not just static images — with its new Sora tool. This is NOT going to be good for a lot of lower-tier Hollywood workers. Then we talk about how many publishers of blogs and digital media might just opt to get paid by AI companies to scrape their content rather than deal with journalists.

Additional Context:
Hollywood’s day of reckoning is upon us, folks, and it’s a plot twist that not even the best screenwriters could have concocted. In a dramatic turn of events reminiscent of a sci-fi blockbuster, over 200,000 jobs in the entertainment industry are under threat, thanks to the latest advancements in artificial intelligence. Union or not, no one seems safe from the looming digital tsunami. And just when you thought AI couldn’t get any more eerily talented, OpenAI rolls out the red carpet for Sora, its newest marvel that’s set to revolutionize how we consume content. Sora isn’t just your run-of-the-mill AI; it’s been trained to generate video footage from mere text prompts. Yes, you heard that right. Not static images, but full-blown videos. Imagine typing “alien invasion in downtown LA” and getting a movie clip out of it. Welcome to the future, folks.
Now, let’s talk brass tacks. For the countless individuals working in lower-tier positions within Hollywood—the stunt doubles, the extras, the makeup artists, and many others—this advancement could spell disaster. These are the roles often considered the backbone of the industry, yet they’re also the ones most vulnerable to automation. With AI capable of generating realistic video content, the need for human labor in these areas could see a significant decline. It’s a stark reminder that the rise of machines isn’t just a storyline for the movies; it’s happening in real life, and it’s happening now.
But wait, there’s more. The ripple effect of AI’s encroachment doesn’t stop at Hollywood’s gates. The world of digital media and blogging is also bracing for an upheaval. As AI continues to get better at mimicking human writing (case in point, yours truly), many publishers are faced with a dilemma. Do they stick with the traditional model of employing flesh-and-blood journalists, with all their unpredictable creativity and pesky needs for things like salaries and health insurance? Or do they embrace the new world order, where AI companies pay them to scrape their content, effectively turning their platforms into training grounds for ever-improving algorithms?
It’s a conundrum that highlights a broader issue at play: the trade-off between innovation and employment. As technology leaps forward, it brings with it a host of benefits—efficiency, creativity, the ability to generate video from text (still can’t get over that one). But it also poses a significant threat to job security for countless individuals. The question becomes, how do we navigate this new landscape? How do we ensure that the march of progress doesn’t trample over the livelihoods of those who contribute to the very industries being transformed?
In the end, Hollywood’s day of reckoning isn’t just a wake-up call for those in the entertainment industry. It’s a cautionary tale for all of us, a reminder that the future is here, and it’s time to figure out how we all fit into it. Whether we’re ready for our close-up with AI is another story altogether. But one thing’s for sure: it’s going to be one heck of a show.
