My concern about AI usages is when it is use as a means to kill. AI self driving and AI drones or other AI devices has to be concern now. We human can use it as a scapegoat and blame it all on the AI that did it and not on the actual human or non human who order it. It has to regulate, put into law and adjust for fairness across all industries or people can die from it.

John Campea said he talked to a very good friend of his who had a high position producing and working on Rampage with the Rock (he never says stuff like this just to say them) What that person told John is that the Rock was always late on Rampage set causing all sort of problems calling it completely bullshit on Rocks behalf

The reason Hiram Garcia's "experience" doesn't count for anything is because his role as a so-called "producer" has been to be subservient to the Dwayne Johnson's demands and make sure everyone else is. Putting Garcia in charge of DC means that the DCEU would have been Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam centric.

That thumbnail is wild af 😂

Nobody should be disposing of another persons pee.

The Rock admitted to peeing in water bottles in a past post. It is gross. Is he taking the time to wash his hands? Probably not.

I haven’t been a fan of The Rock ever since I read about how he tried to take over DC. He seems like an egomaniac.

The rock was late in the pre wrestlemania show before wrestlemania

Let me buy you a drank! I got pee pee in the tank 🎵

This AI argument is the early days of CGI argument all over again. Sorry to say but it's inevitable, guys.

Peeing in bottles is a good way to get a UTI. And when I'm 8 hours late to work, it's called a sick day.

Rock decides to not back Biden, and then media decides to run with this narrative. Interesting timing.

lol, the first ever hit piece i can remember about the Rock and it comes after he said he would not be endorsing Biden.

No wonder Godzilla minus one budget was only 11mill. All other films, every body late and peeing in bottles.

I get Kristian's take on the marketing thing, but my concern would be that when they set the marketing budget next time they'll know that they don't "need" as much because they can just use AI to create their social campaign instead of hiring humans to make stuff.

I bet there’s some weirdo out there that would buy the People’s Piss

Deep conversation today. Nice

I completely understand Mike’s stance on AI but does he feel the same way about other technology or automation that replaces jobs? Like we use to have phone operators and guys who delivered milk to your door.

When will you guys talk about Bad Batch series finale? 🥺 I know it’s not top tier Star Wars content, but would still love to hear y’all discuss what happens. Love when this crew talks Star Wars

Sony spending 150+ M(including marketing) on two mediocre hell boy movies while telling del toro 150 is too much for his third one is a big reason why sony has gone to hell. What a joke.

I'm a production assistant here in Vancouver Canada, I know a buddy who was a PA on Skyscraper which was also filming here and I can see that this report may have some merit. Buddy told me Dwayne would arrive to set hours late because he was working out.

AI is advancing at a frightening rate. All sorts of music channels are popping up on KZread and TikTok with catchy songs with ridiculous lyrics. On channel is called "Obscurest Vinyl" with an assortment of tracks such as "I Glued My Balls To My Butthole Again", 'This Fucking Baptism Blows" & "Daydreamin' (About Taking a Huge Dump, Then Getting up To Piss on the Dump To Cut It in Half)". You can tell it's AI but at the same time, the arrangements are kinda impressive; real earworm stuff. I wish I was lying, but you cats can judge for yourself. Brace yourselves, gang! The future is looking troubling for those in the entertainment industry.

Jesus, Mike, the new AI Will Smith spaghetti video is fake. That's actually Will Smith.

Mike’s discourse towards Deadpool and Wolverine really does astound me, but it is what it is 😂. I hope he enjoys the film. Of course all his worries are wrong and I love how Kristian did bring up there is a level of care to DaW compared to Love and Thunder.

The worst aspect of the article was the Rock flexing to insert his ex-brother-in-law, who lacks the know-how on running an actual production, to run the DCEU.

Love and Thunder wasn’t great. Hopefully the next one will be on par with Ragnarok.

Sure kristian, you never peed in a bottle?! The Rock:

No mention of The Bad Batch? Cold.

And I always thought Vin Diesel was a bigger asshole, but him and The Rock seem on the same level at this point.

Hemsworth needs to give Thor a final send-off and then do the Hogan biopic!!!

Fyi the will Smith spaghetti thing is actually will smith making fun of the AI

The way kalinowski said you're pissing everywhere took me out.

Comparing Endgame's Thor and Love & Thunder's Thor? They are worlds apart... Endgame's Thor feels closer to Ragnarok's His dynamic with Loki felt like a buddy cop thing. But they failed to capture the same dynamic in Love & Thunder.

Umberto is on the run!

I thought a PA was a Production Assistant not a Pee Assistant #Pissistant

and then.. whoever is late that day has to drink that bottle. which is the rock?

Yeah The Rock’s not only giving piss he’s also taking it.

Ai art is a regurgitator of what already exists while stealing artwork without consent. Its easy and braindead, used by people who dont love art enough to learn actual fundamentals

I think Mike just became my spirit animal 😂

Being late to set an *average* of 8 hrs a day is egregious, costing people time and money and ballooning the budget for no other reason than you can't keep to a schedule.

That vertical screen comment is comedy. 🤣🤣 Movie theatre seating design would be funny to see. Ultra Long....thats what she said. 🥁

AI is a tool and it is becoming more used. I don't use it in my art but I do like how Adobe added it to their programs to help people get ideas or be lazy. This is kinda how CGI was when it was coming out, practical effects became rare and people had to adapt. Technology becomes us. 🤣🤣

Pretty sure Hellboy the crooked man is live action

What Kalinowski said about walking around backstage and seeing everyone just buried in their phones is the same experience the Japanese animation director, Hayao Miyazaki, had and was shocked to see the same scene on a Japanese train 10-15 years ago?

Someone should repackage them bottles. Don't let them 2nd hand roads go to waste

The rock is going to be so pissed you talked about this

Love the show as always. I agree with everything Mike says. If I had a lever to destroy AI, Tik Tok, and X I would pull it without hesitation. Gorr the God Butcher is the only good part about Love & Thunder.

I love Mike. Keep it up Mike, love what you're saying about AI. We don't need to except change just for the sake of change. All change is not good for society.

Honestly does Dwayne Johnson think he’s Marlon Brando or something?

The whole thing with the rock is happening right now because he was on Joe Rogan last month saying that he won't be voting for Joe Biden this time.

The Rock’s career just hit a Cross Rhodes 😉😉😉

I enjoyed the show very relaxed with good topics nothing toxic. Good Show

If true, it looks like Dwyane is just being unprofessional and has an ego. Lol.

Dwayne Johnson is Homelander but without the superpowers. He's egotistical, fake and lies constantly. He even lied that he never tried In-n-Out before three times on Instagram within a few years like a true sociopath. I'm glad people are finally pulling back the curtain about Dwayne Johnson and exactly why he came back to WWE. Hollywood is getting tired of Dwayne's bullshit when his movies keep making less and less money. People will put up with bs as long as you're making them money. However Netflix didn't make real money and neither did Warner Bros with Dwayne in their movies. Even the Fast & Furious franchise with Dwayne back had a very big drop at the box office for Paramount

You need to talk about this Rock story with Rocha on Monday because the 2 of you have wildly different takes on it. Rocha actually read the whole story on his show and talks about each point. I get it the Rock's your hero cause he did a bit with you when you were a kid, but to just blow off the article like it's a joke is wild. Maybe the move to NY is so you can work for WWE again and you don't want to upset the boss, idk.

BC amplified, a wrestling KZreadr was at the WWE world and he was there waiting 2 hours. Families were arguing and getting upset. That’s what’s messed up. Don’t do that to people. Stop saying oh it’s the Rock. That ain’t gonna work no more. He supports Vince despite all the accusations. What’s wrong with him.?

Miss the Star Wars chat guys 🥲

Shit I must be doing something wrong. Maybe I need to be late and not on time. Maybe that’s the secret to success. I think I’m going to show up to work 4 hrs late tomorrow. Hopefully my boss say fuck man finally someone figured it out. And give me a raise 😂 Thanks rock for the keys to success

The Drip or the The Rock? Crazy story. Like Steph and Mike on the show but I want to see Steph and Kris Mashup and Roxy and Kris mash up. Kris fits great on these shows

John Campea had a contact who said he did this on Rampage.

Once it became obvious that The Rock's main concern was to just push his garbage products on the public [Under Armour, the energy drink, the tequila, the facial products, etc...] I stopped being a fan. How can you trust a bald man trying to sell you shampoo?

I don't know what to believe about Dwayne Johnson, but if you're a celebrity and there are multiple people saying similar negative things about you, chances are they have some merit. I want to know what he has to say about, though. I'm a fan of his, but I have to admit his ego has been getting a tad out of control in recent years. As for Thor 4, I didn't mind it, but I get why so many people didn't like it and I appreciate Chris Hemsworth's honesty. And I share Mike's feelings about AI. However, I adamantly disagree with him about screens going vertical. Short videos might be vertical, but people still use their phones to watch TV shows, movies, and regular KZread videos, which are all widescreen. That's not going away.

Kristian, did you guys see what the Russo bros said this past week about recent Marvel failures?

About the crew members getting upset that Rock is peeing on set - I totally get it. When I worked in Texas in a band, the men in the band wouldn’t go inside to use the bathroom and would instead piss next to the band trailer - it was fking gross, especially when I’d have to walk by the trailer and step over their stream of piss. Pissing in bottles and then leaving them for someone else to toss? That’s SUPER gross. Wtf dudes why do you some of you do this?!

The Rock showed up two hours late to a WWE live event recently and the people were pissed. I don't know if he apologized to the people who paid money because he's a heel now. However it shows he's not just late on movie sets and two hours late is a long time for an event if you have other plans afterwards or maybe had to hire a babysitter if you paid to go to an event that is advertized to start and end at a certain time

I'm assuming you already have Kristian, but if you haven't, you should talk to Campea about this entire Rock situation
