Let's see if I can connect the dots as well as I think I can.
Just putting it here for posterity.
Like those movies before them, The Creator will be a cult classic in a few years.
The acting was okay, the story was okay.The vfx were great.
The premise is prophetic.
America and China will go to war over AI.
America will try and contain it for themselves. China will keep on trying to keep it accessible.
After endless negotiations between the two superpowers, there is no more room left for talking.
The free (not as in beer) AI models were always seemingly slightly worse than the proprietary American models. A barely noticeable difference on most tasks, but a difference nonetheless.
The breakthrough came when people, companies and governments began chaining and pooling models and infrastructure together,because they were free to do so, thereby creating behemoths that America could not outclass, outsmart or outspend.
And when you stake your whole future on that one thing, it's winner take all.
So for that reason they all had had to die.
And so the war began...
