Just Business Entertainment works best when it's professional
"Cause he's got everything workin' for 'im: timing, touch. It's a great feeling, boy, it's a real great feeling when you're right and you KNOW you're right." – Fast Eddie, The Hustler, Rossen Films, 1961
We really thought 2023 was going to be the new normal.
You know folks going back to work in new ways – some remote, some at the office, things being done in new, different even interesting ways and stuff getting done.
The economy in the U.S. and most industrialized countries had stabilized and even improved (slightly, 2.9 percent) even though not as good as 2022 (3.3 percent) and signs are it will slow again next year because of high inflation and tighter money policies.
But ordinary folks didn't care about that because they were still trying to dig out of the pandemic years which put them even further behind.
People in the U.S. entertainment industry has been slightly bothered by that and this was the year they said BS we need to get paid equitably for our creative work – all of it.
In addition, they were/are more than a little concerned about the ominous creature hiding in the shadows called AI.
Depending on who spins the story it could be the most helpful tool invented since the can opener or the most harmful tool since Oppenheimer's nuclear bomb.
It's probably somewhere in between.

The Road to AI Everywhere Will Be Long, Winding and Loaded with Potholes
“Ava was a rat in a maze. And I gave her one way out. To escape, she'd have to use self-awareness, imagination, manipulation, sexuality, empathy, and she did. Now, if that isn't true AI, what the **** is?” -- Nathan, “Ex Machina,” DNA Films 2014
If you’re a start-up in the AI field, VCs (venture capitalists) are throwing money at you.
If your company is using/has AI “built into” its product, customers are willing to talk with you.
In other words, if you’re not buying/developing/testing/using it, you are obviously a saber tooth tiger’s next meal.
AI has had a long and sordid history going back to WW II – The Imitation Game - and the work of Alan Turing considered the father of AI.
