we can't serve adults steak because babies can't chew it.

I suppose he wants to us to consider super intelligence a foregone conclusion now that narrow reasoning AI has arrived, but climbing trees is not progress toward reaching the moon.
It's hard for those of weaker constitutions to admit there is no alchemy to story writing / charisma from the perspective of the story teller and conman. They prefer to believe in soul and muse than dig deeper.
The wishful thinking Entertainment industry has landed on this fake news about individual AI bros wanting to watch themselves as heroes in hollywood's oh-so-valuable existing films as if that door slamming zinger lands. The desperation, if there is any, is for AI to create novel IP and scenarios in underserved genres like Chrome Lords: Cyberpunk Egypt not for stale content deepfakes. AI bros cause "creatives" major concern because they might find the typical western audience actually worthy of inspiration above all.
The most entertaining thing you'll see until AI is in every niche will be watching the old guard cat herders try to collar cultural relevancy again. And I really don't think they mind that, all glory to weakness.
However, since I'm the final set of eyes judging my care I'll be asking to see a doctor who has never been assisted by AI and is in fact not a mind-atrophied cyborg. Who knows when this opinion will morph into harmspreading and wrongthink that gets you escorted to the schizo wing instead. AI might yet be paraded as safe and effective.
We have a more penetrating word for what they are reaching for here: "Moat" or Durable competitive advantage – Invest in companies that have a unique selling proposition which makes them difficult to replicate. This could include patents, brand loyalty, economies of scale etc.
It's always good to have an easier and more attractive backup problem in your back pocket to make your current problem jealous and your approach to it more playful.
Doesn't square. AI doesn't replace your users? it threatens to replace your content creators. You treat users as smart enough to assess every webpage you send them to but too dumb to assess the outputs of emergent LLMs. Both are text on a screen.
Refusing to serve juicy steak because babies can't chew them or because there is 20 years of dried beef jerky in reserve to sell first.
How do they square this mission statement with AI summaries and content-vectorized chat bots? are the summaries going to be so long and bad on purpose you are still forced to click though occasionally? just so the possibly human web site runner feels glee.
I suspect a lot of art lovers like not knowing that an artist's work has very exact beginnings and egoistic motivations al a marvel movies. Rather prefer the altruistic mystery that muses were involved curating the work out of nothing for the enjoyment of all. Maybe when you know the AI has exact origins it ruins the illusion of art for you because maybe deep down you liked to be tricked by human creativity.
Are you only going to watch certified AI/CGI free movies going forward?
The Master Switch by Tim Wu touches on what the Trust did to stifle celebrity/stardom and acting as an artform in order to maintain a low-cost monopoly over film watching. This is in contrast to a high-cost monopoly the article above is advocating for.
I expect a lot more meandering miniseries MMO style where tangents for quality are pay-per-view. Mainly because if they try to starve out their audience with dither and delay tactics pirate AI will win.
The film industry of today got started because of misfits refusing to toe the line of the anti-celebrity industry bigwigs, it's why hollywood exists where it does (easy to skip over the border to film). And this round of creative destruction is no different.
I would like to know where this luddite outrage was when CGI took over practical F/X? noise and sound? where is their 75c on the dollar per explosion? Creatives emulate what's emulatable all down the line. But you can try to jerry rig artificial backstops in where they no longer fit.
The TV shows and movies thought they made it through the User Generated Content onslaught of the past two decades. This is just technology catching up to them and they are rehashing all the same arguments of that time: monopolies on expertise are good, false content rampant, loss of centralized cultural control bad.
Goes to show that adfree/paid search engines (a.i. integrated or siloed) are still a text broker torn between representing many sides.

AI training doesn't preserve position nor the purpose of a photograph's subject like photoshop does, it amasses a style from corpus as probabilities. Upstream it's not substantial copying of a single work, downstream it's substantial restyling into any new imagined purpose. Slam dunk.
Your curiosity quenching service can either be keyword click-bait first or perfect distillation of info first, there is no hybrid.
I'm not paying so search engines can LARP on that their keyword soup is still valuable by the spoonful as they Weekend-at-bernies the old web about like it's 1995-2022 RIP.
Ya, the vast majority of tweets are angrily polished turds, makes them easier to fling.
Funny accusation because that is how I would describe most modern media. It's as if their meta inclusion of anxious self-parody is simultaneously deserving of and suffices for critique.
Curtis needs to make another doco called the "Dislodging of the Self: Individual assessment not required. And that's a good thing"
Doc chatbots and flow chart prompt chains are welcome conveniences for today, though hardly a leap towards the final end.
It must be hard to say "quality is near to the primary goal of social media" and "nothing is wasted" in the same blogpost. You will always get trickling here, obfuscating there. Those who lack engagement or refuse to expose their habits are punished with lower quality buffet spread until they capitulate to the platform's definition of quality.

Falls apart at times though a big step above riffusion ibiza 3am late night lofi which wowed the world 5 months ago.
Crisp but they have killer light bleed at the edges on bigger sizes. And their turn on splash screen is a 30 second bright blue hue. I doubt philips have any concern for warm/cold light on the e-ink display.
The original starCoder in the hf chat assistant [1] was just disappeared and now the download page demands you signup and share data. From the forums it looks like it was a bit hit and miss. I hope this new one with better assistant is put back in.
