    Not only could it lead to thousands of jobs being cut (it takes more than just actors to make a movie) it also makes it dead simple to put real people into a video that shows them doing something illegal. Grainy security cam LoRA anyone?

      Would it be so terrible for Hollywood to become a relic of the past?

        I couldn’t give a flip about “the industry” but that doesn’t mean I want to see tens of thousands of talented people out of a job, not all of which are rich movie stars.

          So you’d fight to defend the worst excesses of capitalism? That’s kinda funny to me, I guess it’s America brain rot where you can literally only imagine people happy if they’re being exploited by a corporation.

          Lowering the bar to self expression and creativity is a great thing, those people will live better lives being able to create their own projects and being able to enjoy and learn from other peoples content.

          Beside its not going to be overnight, that’s why we need to focus on transition and creating solutions with new tech rather than covering our eyes and crying until it’s too late.

      As for manipulated videos as legal evidence, if these products push for authenticity measures of security footage at the hardware/capture level, that’s a good thing. Adobe is just commoditizing what’s already been possible for some time now.

        If trends continue, open-source solutions will be at this level within a year if not months. At that point you’re free to “watermark” the content or not.

      The jobs will be replaced by the Indie companies that this tech will help foster. It was fantasy a few years ago to put out quality products that could rival Hollywood or triple A game companies. That gap is quickly being bridged.
