A stunning viral video of Cruise vs. Pitt has ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ screenwriter warning “Hollywood is about to be revolutionized/decimated,” as MPA calls for the company to cease its “infringing activity.”

Maybe the MPAA should have gone after the very obvious copyright infringement a few years ago from the companies training LLMs.
It’s like if you ran a jewelry store that got robbed a bunch but you didn’t really do anything about it until the robbers opened competing store across the street with your stolen merchandise.

“Infringing activity”… this is fighting the last war. Filmmakers pretty soon won’t even use current stars’ likenesses and voices. They’ll create their own stars. Why deal with and compensate humans if you don’t have to. Film and TV actors are like the horse drawn carriage drivers of the early-twentieth century. Outside of niche activities (eg, plays) they’re going to be replaced by technology. In 1910 horse drawn carriages were one of the primary modes of transportation in the US; by 1940 there were hardly any left outside of rural areas. Thirty years.

Saw someone on X say this and it’s true.
>But we’ve seen this movie before.
>The MPA said the exact same thing about Sora. Then Disney licensed 200 characters to OpenAI.
>Hollywood’s playbook: panic → sue → license → profit.
