“The company now expects to exceed $1.7 billion in free cash flow for the third quarter of 2023, in part due to the strong performance of ‘Barbie’ as well as incremental impact from strike-related factors,” the entertainment giant says in a regulatory filing.
I mean, I said it would take a couple decades…
But the longer they waited to strike, the less leverage they have.
VR is completely different because your asking people to pay the price of a big screen for something only used while gaming. This doesn’t require consumers to buy any special equipment.
If you want a gaming analogy, look at the cutscenes in new games like Baldurs Gate 3. It won’t be long before AI eliminates the need for mocap. And at that point AI could write and generate a show all on its own
20 years is plenty of time for that
I think we’re ‘20 years away’ from it in the same way we were ‘20 years away’ from practical fusion power in the 50’s. It feels close, but we don’t even know what we’re actually trying to achieve. People don’t even agree or understand what human intelligence is, what creativity is. You can’t progress down this path like we do with newer, faster processors. It’ll take a new epiphany, a whole new approach to get to the kind of AI people have been dreaming of and writing stories about. You could give the machine a thousand times the processing power and all the training data possible, but it will never really progress past a the current shallow mimicking of intelligence. There’s no mechanism for it to grow or be corrected on the facts. That will take something new.
