Within a few years, movies and tv-series as we know them will be gone. And it will be glorious. "MiniMax H3" is an open weights (=free to download and run locally) video diffusion model that creates short realistic looking video clips. On a regular gaming computer you can expect to generate roughly 10 seconds of video from 10 minutes of computation right now. That means we're about six halvings away from realtime - or six years if we estimate software and hardware performance to double every year. We're six years away from being able to generate tv-series and movies in realtime, according to whatever we prompt. We'll be able to direct what we want to see, when we want to see it. We'll be able to influence what happens, uniquely for every single viewer. It's no Holodeck, yet, but it's getting close. Full VR environments will follow.
