Does anyone know how to handle the depression/doom one feels with these updates? Yes, it's a great technical achievement, but I just worry for the future. We don't have good social safety nets, and we aren't close to UBI. It's difficult for me to see that happen unless something drastic changes. I'm also afraid of one company just having so much power. How does anyone compete?

It's worth considering that throughout history there have been people who have felt this way. That suggests this perception is a natural tendency of humans and it does not have a good track record of turning out be be correct.

Obviously incredibly cool, but it seems that people are incredibly overstating the applications of this. Realistically, how do you fit this into a movie, a TV show, or a game? You write a text prompt, get a scene, and then everything is gone—the characters, props, rooms, buildings, environments, etc. won’t carry over to the next prompt.

What came to mind is what is right around the corner: you create segments and stitch them together.

"ok, continue from the context on the last scene. Great. Ok, move the bookshelf. I want that cat to be more furry. Cool. Save this as scene 34."

As clip sizes grow and context can be inferred from a previous scene, and a library of scenes can be made, boom, you can now create full feature length films, easy enough that elementary school kids will be able to craft up their imaginations.

1. I would much rather live in a world of abundance and figure out UBI than in a world of scarcity.

2. I don't think what they have can be protected all that well. Others will catch up.
