There are too many Instagrammers and Tictokers. They're just the worst. Here are a bunch of them getting hurt as a palate cleanser:

I am surprised that the engineer didn't blast his horn and slam on the brakes. I think the horn at the beginning is from a different train.
Is this a fake - you don't see the idiot's hair moving?
Or is the engineer sick of this crap and hoping to teach a lesson?
I don't know but there sure are an endless supply of morons in the world. Some of the ones from nova_robotics reminds me of Whacked Out Sports.
I can't say my scrotum has ever drawn up so much in such a short time! I was actually feeling some of that pain!! Some of these are just plain accidents but some are just plain accidents looking for a place to happen!
One of my greatest hopes for AI is that it will rescue us from celebrity culture - which includes "influencers". The video creation snippets I've seen are convincing enough to vastly decrease production expenses for movies.
My thinking is that AI will only increase the stupidity of the extreme, causing more of these I guess you can call them people, to try and mimic what they see done garbage in is garbage out. The AI generated snippets will be so believable these people will try and one up what they have seen. More Darwin awards will be won. But that may in a way be a good thing. as long as the award winners receive their awards before they have reproduced.

The modern version of Darwin's Law is even crueler - very stupid people tend to reproduce freely without thought or planning.
Pity the toilet wasn't flushed over him.
If there was ever a need for that German track ripper that was it...

As AI created images gets better, I have wondered if Hollywood studios would kick the highly paid actors to the curb. Why pay them when you can invent your own. Of course, they are currently all on the same team but that could change as money is the name of their game.
For now, the AI video creation services are gatekept. You can upload a short video of a person and they will create an AI video avatar from it after vetting it. Or, you can choose from their pre-existing AI characters to create a video. They are concerned about running afoul of legal issues arising from creating videos with the likenesses of people who may sue them. Celebrities have an outsize influence on politics and culture, and they generally are misinformed or ignorant about the topics on which they so confidently preach. We have really seen this dynamic in action in the internet era. Previously, their agencies would handle their appearances tightly, but now they can't resist exposing their idiocy on Twitter or Instagram.
I didn't mean copy the likeness of actors. I meant invent actors and give them names. Just totally sidestep the actors who cost a fortune.Quote:

Making a full-length movie could be as accessible as writing a book. This might also solve the current problem in which we have a large number of new movies, but they are thematically similar or otherwise unremarkable. Video below is an example of AI generation. It's only a short snippet, but the faces look real.
