Zamujasa posted:Radio ratings are unreliable, moreso than television ones, iirc. I’d argue the past 10 years were a period of stagnation where technological development was largely focused on optimizing the preexisting without much new. We have better smartphone, faster internet, easier payment systems, etc. but so many of these are incremental. mRNA is amazing and we’re still reaping the benefits, EVs are now more mainstream too, but everything else still seems right around the corner perpetually, like autonomous vehicles and VR. This might be way time seems to have just flown by. All this technology and we still need to fill out paperwork and people aren’t necessarily working less. Pretty much the only way you can do so is if you can leverage AI in your job (without your boss knowing), or work remote so you can skip an hour+ commute. Otherwise it’s all the same old as ever before, with just more screen time required and more screen time at the end of the day. drat, Teddy K is starting to sound right Edit: this is a very western perspective and fails to account for the increased prosperity in poorer regions of the world, which have seen massive improvements in healthcare and technology access. But if you’re in the west, I would argue it’s appropriate to be upset about your personal circumstances Suicide Watch fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Jul 25, 2023 |

mlmp08 posted:Those box office records are being broken with products made with real writer and actor labor, not AI bullshit or movies made by scabs. Yeah hopefully they’ll get a good deal. Not a good sign about how enthusiastic studios are for terrible CGI like in Irishman & Indiana Jones, doesn’t seem like they’ll have any moral qualms about reusing actors forever. Wondering how it would work even if US actors/writers got a good deal, if emerging technology means other countries not bound by those deals can instantly make a two hour epic about anything starring anyone for pennies, and if you don’t like it here’s a hundred more.

I'll be honest, I don't think there's any way to avoid AI replacing extras in movies. And those won't be the only jobs lost to improving AI.

Radio listeners aren't the same as the general population, which explains why All I Want For Christmas or Last Christmas are ubiquitous in stores but not so much in radio.

The best chrismas song is ultimately from the 90's. It's from Home Alone when the kid is leaving the church and it's called *googles it* Carol of the Bells from 1919. I will not be changing my initial statement as I honestly believed it for way too long to change now

If you call in and ask for *Song* and it gets recorded as a request fot *Song* (1948) but the DJ sees the request and actually plays *Song* (Mariah Carey , 2015) you get the statistics above.

It's basically a game of chicken at this point, in that the writers/actors know they just need one bad earnings forecast to get the studios to begrudgingly start negotiating again. The other issue is despite the studios comic book villain "We'll just wait for people to start losing their houses" strategy, is that they've been paying people poorly for so long that many of those people already have side jobs/careers removed from the industry in order to get by. Hard to say you'll win by starving people out when that's been the status quo for so long.
