I think I know what you mean, I just don’t think there is any use case that rises to the level of “need”.
coyotino [he/him]@beehaw.orgto Entertainment@beehaw.org•Fallen stars: why are Hollywood A-listers flopping at the box office?English4·12 hours agoWho honestly wants to go to the theater anymore in America? I don’t watch many movies but
Sort of answered your own question. Who still wants to go to the theater? Cinephiles, people who are happier when they are watching at least one movie a week. I’m friends with a few, and in my experience, these folks prefer a public movie theater, even though they know that home-viewing is a better experience. The cinephiles in my life are broke, they hate people who talk in the movie theater, they get stressed about getting to the movie on time, and they dislike intense bass. All of these are problems that can be easily solved by just watching the movie at home, where even a modest TV can provide superior contrast compared to a theater projection screen. Yet the cinephiles still prefer the theater, because there is something about the vibe that just speaks to them.
I think this is the sort of person that will keep theaters alive into the future, and moviegoing will become a niche hobby for exactly this reason. Indie theaters are already a thing, and I’m inclined to believe that they are the only theaters that will survive this shift. Cinephiles don’t care to see most of these A-lister movies that are coming out now, and mainstream moviegoers are increasingly preferring streaming. The only thing i’m uncertain of is how many younger folks are becoming cinephiles.
coyotino [he/him]@beehaw.orgto U.S. News@beehaw.org•Photos: More ‘No Kings’ Protests Across the U.S.English2·1 day agoit was a great vibe! personally i’m all for these inflatable animal costumes, I think they are perfect for this kind of “protest”. The whole thing has a playful, celebratory nature that brings in children and elderly folks that would never attend a more focused protest. The smaller protests are just as important, if not more important, but I cannot deny that these huge, infrequent No Kings protests are doing a decent job of inviting more people into the tent, and showing them that they are “antifa” too.

coyotino [he/him]@beehaw.orgto Feminism@beehaw.org•Virginia Giuffre’s story of abuse exposes impunity of powerful men, UK experts sayEnglish3·4 days agoEven if she had never crossed paths with Trump and Maxwell, her story is still heartbreaking. The kind of terrible, awful abuses she faced in her life by the time she was 16 shouldn’t be happening in our society, full stop. The kind of shit that makes girls extra fragile and vulnerable by the time that they are 16, which is dangerous for a whole host of reasons besides sexual predators. Obviously the predator problem is huge, and I want to see every one of these fuckers dead and buried 50 feet under the ground. But one wonders how much of this we would mitigate if we just did better by little girls so that they are very strong and capable by the time they are 16, rather than being emotionally shattered by a society that stops caring about your wellbeing the moment you are born.

He’s like if Tommy Wiseau got into games instead of film (and he found out that he was better at making games than film)
idk, i have a hard time imagining a scenario where AI output is preferable to the alternatives. If one “needs” an AI to do something, they should just hire a human. They will get better results than they get from the word-association machine. Once AI companies stop subsidizing the cost of AI to attract users, the human will probably be the cheaper option, too.
