| The ~1500 domestic productions per year (and ~15 tentpole

| 1950's Asimov content your heart desires.

|
| The history of the Luddites is actually interestingly parallel
| to what we're seeing with generative AI these days. The book
| "Blood in the Machine" talks about this in some detail -
| there's an interview with the author at
| https://www.currentaffairs.org/2024/01/why-you-should-be-a-l...
| that is worth reading.

| I believe humans do exactly this as well, and to a greater
