tic-looking video of their CEO Sam Altman shoplifting at Target. And it looks just like him and it sounds like him and it looks like he's shoplifting at Target.

And I'm thinking to myself, now I guess this app is so you can make content for stuff like Meta and Instagram and TikTok and stuff. It's sort of designed for what they call AI slop. Have you heard that term yet? AI slop, meaning that people are just generating all kinds of AI stuff and it's not all good. Yeah, it's not all sombrero stuff. So they call it AI slop.

Anyway, so now we'll have video of every famous person shoplifting and committing crimes. Step forward, step in the right direction. And apparently Sora can't generate a continuous three-minute video from a photo but there's an app called Luma that can. So I guess three minutes might be sort of the current record of how long a video you can make from a single prompt. But there's another one where you can splice together some shots of like a virtual room and you could splice it together. So you walk through a bunch of virtual rooms, but it looks like it takes about six apps to make all that work.

So as far as I can tell based on what I've seen so far, in order to make a movie using AI you would need all of the skills of a movie maker. So you'd have to know how to cast the right people even though casting would be digital. You'd have to still understand scripts and story and the nature of storytelling. You would have to be basically a videographer so that you could say oh that's a good look and all that. So you'd have to be an editor, you'd have to be a director. You'd still have to be a producer.

So it seems to me that the movie-making business will probably no longer be the stupid people. Don't you worry that movies were made by actors who just wanted a promotion so they sort of turned into directors so they could get kind of a promotion and that they weren't necessarily the smartest people you've ever met. But it wasn't that hard because if you're a director you have all these well-trained people who know how to do all the subtasks, right? You don't have to be the videographer because you hired one, etc. You don't have to be the lighting guy because you hire one.

But now you would have to know a whole bunch about AI and how to use it, probably several different apps, and they would be getting updated, those apps, and new ones would be coming online that were better. You'd have to try them all the time and you would have to have all the movie skills but on top of that in one person because you couldn't really, it'd be hard to build something that you delegated to other humans. So you could delegate it
