Are you referring to projects that conceptualize something, but in the end it doesn’t come to fruition because it’s not possible due to lack of funding, lack of interest, it’s impossible, or there’s no technology required to complete it?

Why do I feel like this article is a paid advertisement for Anthropic?

This has happened with every generation when a new technology changes our environment, and our way of defending ourselves is to reject it or exaggerate its flaws.

Because throughout history, many tools have existed, but over time they have fallen into disuse because too many people and/or there is a faster method that people use. But you can use that old tool.

There is a phenomenon called Emergence, in which something complex has properties or compartments that its parts don’t have on their own.

In programming, we can see that software displays properties or behaviors that its languages alone don’t have.

If an AI demonstrates true consciousness, a major change will occur in all branches, including law and philosophy.

Japan’s Copyright Act, amended in 2019, is largely interpreted as allowing the use of copyrighted materials to train AI tools — without the consent of the copyright holder. The law, specifically more permissive than those in the EU or the US, aims to attract AI investors to the Asian country.

It’s actually strange that Japan allows this because that country normally has very strict copyright laws compared to the EU and the United States.

Charlie Fink, former Disney producer and current adjunct professor of cinematic AI at Chapman University, feels that the use of the rapidly developing tech will “lead to a new golden age of Hollywood,” one that would be “highly democratized, because an individual could make a film for a few thousand dollars,” he told DW

If Fink is right in what he says, in the future, I think there will be a debate about whether AI is a good thing or a bad thing. Because if AI makes cinema a movement like free software and/or open source, it’s a win-win, right?

Maybe they will create a family of products focused on each economic class and sector.

You are confusing the software and Linux kernel that make up WSL2 because the former was proprietary until now and the latter has always been available on GitHub.
