The post Ben Affleck Is Wrong About AI, As Is James Cameron, Workers Will Take The Hit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Ben Affleck had a lot to say on Joe Rogan’s podcast and if you don’t understand what’s really going on with AI, he sounds really smart. I mean, he is, just not about this. His self-comforting thoughts are an epidemic in Hollywood. People like Affleck are grappling with the six stages of grief, and have not yet fully accepted reality.

AI does not care about liars or delusional, grieving philosopher kings. Ironically, both Affleck and Cameron’s jobs will be fine. It’s the middle-class workers, the below the line people, the drivers, grips, gaffers, hair stylists, carpenters and costumers, that will be crushed. They were being crushed before, of course. Runaway production to cheaper locations has crippled Tinseltown. Netflix is building sound stages in New Jersey. BURBANK, CA – DECEMBER 11:…
