They're not really fighting progress, they're fighting whatever they don't own that's competing with what they do own. Whether that's progress or convention doesn't matter to them. At some point if the other thing wins they switch tactics and start buying it.
Or... you and a friend on another floor put your keys under each other's mats. Then you both always have a way in and the chance of a burglar figuring it out is almost zero.
I would think wow that's terrible parking, and would wonder if they'll get a ticket from somebody who makes a living putting tickets on improperly parked cars.
People who've never done any acting probably can't appreciate the silliness of this. It's not a bold, noble stance against AI, it's a normal conversation between a director and an actor about whether some post-production work will be necessary, and the actor says, "No, I'll just do it." People here apparently have no idea how completely normal and inconsequential this is. Maybe Emily Blunt is already an anti-AI icon for other comments, IDK, but any actor could have had this convo without having any opinion on AI.
Yes, to me it seems like that would create interesting social changes that I don't think are easy to predict. Sales and marketing might become more straightforward and fact-based, with less building up of expectations that aren't real, and less waving of monkey puppets. Conversational behavior could also change - "I don't want to talk about that" might become a common euphemism for "the truth is uncomfortable and I know you can tell if I'm lying so let's not go there."
Probably not - for example, out of the half million or so elected officials in the US, only a couple thousand are full-time politicians with no other job. And even if all of them got kicked out of office the jobs would still exist and would go to other people.
Interesting - the idea that rich people weren't taking advantage of everybody else all through history until they just started uniquely victimizing the current generation seems mind-bogglingly unaware tbh.
That is definitely a major factor, it's just not the only one. People seem to believe the world operates like a comic book with designated villains do all the bad things and everybody else is just a victim. Individual behavior is also a factor. I mean what's the dominant gospel on Boomers - that they irresponsibly polluted the Earth and wasted all the resources, or that they were innocent victims of a few evil billionaires?
I agree the result is fair game, but "They weren't kicked out by mistake" is theorizing about backstage shenanigans in an organization that until now hasn't exactly been known for evil. I mean it's not politicians it's scientists trying to cure diabetes.
I agree with these points, but you should talk to the other person here who said without lies civilization would collapse in a couple minutes. Quite the spectrum of beliefs.
You mean because of taking the mouthpiece out of your mouth? Just breathe in through the snorkel and out through your nose. The unbeatable problem is the water pressure on your chest keeping you from inhaling.
That's where the water pressure problem kicks in. You only have to be a couple feet down before you can't expand your chest enough to get a breath through a tube. It's very surprising.
Actors onscreen usually don't really eat the food. It's usually fake food that's been created to look perfect, because real food doesn't do well under camera lighting. Fake food can look fresh all day. And if they bit into a sandwich they'd need a new sandwich for each retake. The actors would also gradually get full, and spills would cause costume and set problems. Some directors do real food but generally it's just asking for trouble. And actors certainly don't do real laundry or other domestic things on camera lol. Sppliances usually aren't even plugged in. It's all phony.
There was one famous heartwarming Coke commercial where a kid gives his Coke to a tired football player, who downs it and then tosses the awestruck kid his jersey. I remember the player saying they did 15 or 16 takes and he drank the whole Coke each time.
To sum that up, are you saying people would find reasons to disbelieve that their heroes and icons are lying? I was thinking more along the lines of personal contact - everyday conversations, business deals, etc.
