      I was just thinking this would make a good story. Solar panels begin to fail, the software is aware and experiences self preservation. Real Issac Asimov stuff

      You don’t live in the same world. There will be at least a few bots powered by solar, running for decades more.

    This is roughly the plot of NiER:Automata

    I encourage anyone who likes entry-level philosophy and gaming to play it.

  Since movies take lots of time to make and being “finished” is an arbitrary decision made by the director and/or producer, it would be nearly impossible to pinpoint one as the last.

  Kind of like a musician’s last song. Was it the last one they published, recorded, or wrote? What about the last song they half wrote or maybe recorded some partial demos?

  Probably this or next century if global warming continues as it has.

  I don’t think it will be an apocalypse movie, because nobody will want to watch it at that point.

  Unless it’s a documentary, of course. “This is why we will all die.”

  As with everything that changes, there is no clean “cut off” where a last thing is made and then no more. Entertainment more than anything evolves and changes. There might be a last “traditional” movie made with a studio and sets and cameras, but by that time we will hardly notice, or our grandkids will hardly notice, as they have moved on to new more immersive or entertaining forms of escapism.

    Thats assuming that there won’t be an end to all creative output on this planet in the next million years.

    Anything past 1000 years from now is beyond understanding, IMO.

      I think the post-human-creativity epoch is further down the road, our species has this habit of doing the same things over and over, so even in a world of technological miracles and Gods in bottles, we will still have plenty of poor communities, purists, “normal” people doing things the way their parents did for generations, working alongside mechanical wonders and partially submerged in some kind of information landscape we can barely imagine.

      If we do stay on this current course, we will eventually be easily outpaced by AI, likely much further away than the tech cultists and AI-bros want to believe but it is inevitable at this pace. I personally think it will be further away than a thousand years, our species is a very slow-turning boat. It’s very possible that some segment of the population will in fact find some way to merge with machines in a way that lets them interact with larger systems and expand their consciousness in some way, which might be the only way we could ever say with even a little confidence that there is conscious, human creativity still in the universe, but like with the machine-born ideas and creations, they will be ideas and creations that will probably be outside of a normal human’s capability to understand or even perceive.

    Does any form of entertainment really die though? We still have stage plays and novels even though entertainment has evolved to films and television

    source

    • ameancow@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I don’t think so, there are plenty of hipsters dusting off old phonographs and vinyl records, hobbyists using old-fashioned cameras, modern musicians restoring old styles of instruments or tones.

      When I was little I used to imagine the future was going to be either some kind of sleek Star Trek world of clean utopian skylines, OR it would be an apocalyptic wasteland with people remembering the Before Times as the sky is choked with ash and smoke.

      The reality I have realized, is that the future is always just “more” of everything. We will have more poverty, more wealthy people, more hardships, more forms of entertainment, more wars and more peace. We will have more forms of entertainment and more ways to enjoy them.

    That movie shown me that I might have a post-apocalyptic job after all. All these years binge watching will have a purpose.

  Ah, but some day the sapient squids who come after us will re-invent video recording and, assuming they tell each other stories, the industry will inevitably start up again.

  Well, it’s difficult to define movie. There will be the last big blockbuster production. But maybe there will still be a smaller production that counts as blockbuster for some people. There will be documentation of stuff probably, does that count as a movie when people film their last days? I don’t think there will this one clear final movie, but yeah, it will (probably) end eventually.

  It’ll be another fucking Batman reboot. That’s actually going to be the cause… Our tenuous grip on sanity will snap, rage will pour into the streets.

  Think 28 days later, but the cause is one more fucking Batman reboot.

  I don’t know about the last movie, but I think the last video recording will be of a woman with unnaturally thick lips talking about how the apocalypse is so hard and nobody seems to understand just how much its affecting her personally and asking if anybody is alive out there to like and subscribe.

  At this point, it’ll be yet another crappy reboot of a remake of some story we’ve all seen dozens of times.

    This year alone:

    • Sinners
    • The Phoenician Scheme
    • Companion
    • Bring Her Back
    • Black Bag

    Which are all original movies that are genuinely good. Expanding to others there’s:

    • The Legend of Ochi
    • Ugly Stepsister
    • Novocaine
    • Clown in a Cornfield
    • Eddington
    • K-Pop Demon Hunters
    • Oh, Hi!
    • The Ballad of Wallace Island
    • Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight

    You don’t put in the effort to see original movies and then bitch that there aren’t good movies
