I will buy this

 




Since we’re all looking for the best algorithms to use for everything related to AI now, can we start thinking about how we can use AI to solve this problem most efficiently? Like, should we start online discussions about what we want in an AI, personality-wise? Do we want to know the scientific truth, or do some people want to hear white lies, conspiracy theories, and PR statements? Is there any way we can ask for a certain type of personality or news slant (for example, I want to know more about how the article I’m reading relates to world events or our current predictions for the future) that isn’t already available as an established company’s motivations? I also want more of an emphasis on what can be done to make it right by common people, like if there’s a petition I can sign or even a little blurb with some current events background information for people who aren’t familiar with the events that led up to the news story.

My attempt at changing the course of history

I was wondering where my favorite genre went.

For a while I was working on my own screenplay like this, and I thought it was weird that drama had taken over streaming during that time. Maybe it’s part of everyone’s shift away from TV and movies towards things that are online, like streaming services and social media. Now that Barbenheimer happened, maybe studios will take a chance at recapturing the stoner comedy demographic like they did with the marketing campaign towards the Barbie movie demographic.

As we’ve seen with Twilight, it really just takes one big hit for a bunch of copycats to pop-up. If done right, this can result in a stoner comedy renaissance as everyone from professional writers to TikTokers contribute to and refine the evolution of the genre.

Avatar blocking/privacy settings in the future (like in Black Mirror)

 

I think, in the future, if everyone looks the same, you'll be able to choose the avatars you want other people to appear as (I think most people will have the technology and it will be common to do so). This will be done to prevent seeing someone as something they're not, like when people throw tantrums, try to seduce you, etc.
