Karpathy’s Pelican | Hacker News

They expect AI video to be used mainly in niche cases and by professional studios, rather than reshaping everyday media habits.

The discussion reflects a broader question: will generative AI transform culture, or mostly get absorbed into existing commercial and niche uses?
