this measles problem is a Mennonite thing though, and shame on the more conservative of them opposed to vaccination since their religion has no prohibition. It's similar but worse situation to some of the orthodox Jews in Brooklyn in a 2019 measles outbreak who were against vaccination when even their own rabbis were saying that was a bad stance violating "love your friend as yourself."

If they plan to actually generate movies in Saudi Arabia, their morality police are going to restrict them heavily. I doubt most of the rest of the world would be interested for long.

If their plan is only to make the software, will those contracts ban anything forbidden by the Saudi morality police? Will the software have hidden restraints? It would be easy to detect forbidden scenes. It might not be so easy to detect more subtle restraints, such as ideological bias.

I'm convinced of it. You'll supply a script, cast, and style and it will generate the movie. At some point, you will also be able to interact with the movie, talking to the characters ("your other left"), talking to the generator ("skip this scene").

Famous actors will sell their personas, famous writers will sell scripts, famous directors and producers will sell styles, but I think most people will pay less for B-list and C-list and Z-list content that they can tweak to get something different every time.

You will also be able to add your overlays to scripts ("more cowbells"), personas ("more witty") and styles ("fewer explosions"), and you will be able to add random variations.

It's going to be fantastic. Hollywood democratization will be like a breath of fresh air.

It doesn't change climate, it's a local thing. A tiny change in weather isn't climate and this often doesn't make rain it's such a weak forcer. Been done off and on since the 1940s, old thing. And the AgI doesn't even dissolve in water so it's not bioavailable to any organisms, no salts!

It is utterly harmless to living things.

and how are you going to move and distribute food across the nation? or for that matter grow enough food to feed it? Modern tech is the only way now, unless you're advocating mass death. I'm fine with ultra-greenies advocating for population reduction, if they take on for the team and give themselves the first bullet. Otherwise, it's hypocrisy.

Trump propagandist spotted.

Yeah let's war on those places because they're such a threat and so bad.

You know who has the worst cartels and smuggles the most drugs into USA? our best buds the Colombians. But Venezuela is EVIL and needs regime change eh? Nothing to do with their having the largest proven oil reserves on Earth, nope.
