My takeaway from this type of tech is that it stands change human culture drastically. We won't be able to value photography in the same way, so the place photography has in society will naturally change as a result. If all photography because meaning-neutral, does that mean we'll value the medium in the same way we value stock photography?

Wow, you are right. Time to collect ideas for that avant-garde fine art photoshoot I can now do without a camera, props, site searches, or expensive supermodels. I have also been collecting and developing story ideas. We are not that far away from one person being able to create an entire movie or TV series. This may lead to some really great movies. Having every detail coming from and integrated in one mind, with one vision, iterating without friction, will be unprecedented. No need for actors and their schedules, retakes, wardrobe, sets, caterers or VIP RV's. Or if models have long term memory at that stage, two "minds"! Obviously, video is going to take more processing power. But it is inevitable. Two components I need: (1) scenes that stay consistent, and true to natural lighting and physics, and (2) the ability to create characters whose proportions, look, facial expressions, voice and style of movement are consistent by default, but easily adjusted. We are entering the singularity. This isn't stopping.

  I'm not sure .. I think multiple people on a project can be a really good thing. Will definitely be interesting to see if new art forms develop off the back of this though.

    I have great respect for what actors bring to a story. The benefits of isolation do not negate the benefits of collaboration. The difference will be that both ends of the spectrum will be possible. Individuals will be able to do it all. But people will continue to be able to collaborate with anyone. Co-writers, actors, set designers, etc. An actor who brings a lot could now inhabit several characters in the same story. Or every character! A creative set designer is no longer limited to found or built sets. Starting with one writer, there will be no limits on tasks they can do, or who they collaborate with, and how they divide up the work. Collaborations of all kinds will continue. But teams will generally be much tighter.
