Most of what is made is not that good. For every shawshank redemption we have 20 'leonard part 6' movies or worse. People just do not realize how much content there is out there in the big budget space. In the low budget space that ratio is even worse. Most of it is not good. We are going to see the volume of low effort items cranked to 11.
- TheOtherHobbes 3y agoAnd the Shawshank Redemption movies will stop being made. Or if they are being made, they will be ignored. I read a blog today and it was high-quality long form tech journalism - something I haven't seen for a long time, tucked away on a no-mark site in a far corner of the Internet. I didn't agree with all of the content, but it was so good to see something written at that level. 50 years ago it would have been normal for tech publishing. Today most tech journalism is gossip and clickbait. It's not thoughtful and referenced long form analysis of where the industry may be heading, written with original critical insights.
- sumtechguy 3y agoI picked that movie because it is considered one of the best movies on IMDB. However, it did very poorly on release. It was years later it did much better. Gems are made. But they also do not always get the recognition they deserve. With AI we are about to get a lot more rubish to dig thru. However, we may be surprised too. At this point is kind of too soon to tell. But my gut reaction is 'a small bit of good tons of bad'.
