Part 10/12:
While acknowledging the unavoidable advance of AI and technological change, the speakers express concern about the industry's future. They argue that Hollywood has itself to blame for its current state due to high costs, restrictive policies, and overregulation. The notion that Hollywood is "done" is countered by the reality that alternative avenues are thriving, though often outside the limelight.
They also reflect on the cultural shifts—how Hollywood's content has become more homogenized due to censorship and gatekeeping—paving the way for more authentic, unfiltered voices from independent creators. This cultural diversification, paired with technological tools, may ultimately revitalize entertainment, even as traditional Hollywood falters.
