    Which will turn into llm models giving them ideas, as reddit is ruled by bots and slop and will only get worse as they kick off real users that actually drive engagement for organized interests pushing a campaign.

      Threes studios control like 75% of the movies now after the paramount deal closes, sony controls another like 7% or something.

      It’s going to get worse not better, and using reddit for ideas is basically using llm’s and organized inerests, be they commercial or fascist or what have you, to generate ideas.

      Let’s just input it into the AI Slop machine a few times first. Then strip out anything that might hurt us or some share holders reputation or feelings. Shove some ad’s and got to go for some good ol patriotism. Don’t forget to photoshop the current thing of the month “We” are caring about into it.

    After the success of the Barbie movie, studios were allegedly scrambling to figure out what other toys they could make a movie about. They just don’t get it.

        Only true for so long, and nowadays people can barely afford gas and food and rent so just watch Tiktok rather than pay to see films.

      They have thousands of scripts to choose from and they go for Reddit they can as well just skip the middleman and ask a LLM directly.

      Claude, give me a Hollywood movie script that wins at least 3 oscars.

    Patrick H Wiilems had an interesting video essay recently about the death of music videos, since there was a major pipeline from being a music video director to being a movie director.

    This may be the first year where Hollywood starts treating YouTube video makers as a substitute pipeline for finding new talent.

    The original Onion story was about the success of American Pie kicking off a wave of copycat pie-fucking grossout comedies from the other studios.
