Director James Cameron on the red carpet.

James Cameron talked with People on the dangers of AI! This wasn’t something he just came up with yesterday either. He tried to warn the world 40 years after making the first “Terminator” movie!

What Exactly Did He Warn Us About?

Cameron told CTV News about what he thought about AI or artificial Intelligence. He said, “I warned you guys in 1984, and you didn’t listen!” He spoke about his concern and worry on how AI has only gotten more scary and has gone farther than it should. He even told CTV News, “I think the weaponization of AI is the biggest danger.”

Now it’s a race to who actually weaponizes it first. He agreed with the experts on AI that its getting more and more advanced and will eventually reach a point where it will be nearly impossible for humans to even keep up or comprehend it. He believes this will eventually cause a risk to humanity.

In his interview with CTV News, he says, “The so-called godfathers of AI” also tried to warn others on how to regulate AI, because its becoming more and more advanced every day!

How AI Affects The Hollywood Actor and Writer Strike

Cameron also spoke about the writer and actor strikes in Hollywood. The strike started back in the beginning of May. The SAG-AFTRA union that is made up of 160,000 actors are worried and fighting the fact that their look, images, and art need to be more protected. They don’t want what they do for a living to be used by AI technology. They more so don’t want it being used with out permission by them.

In Cameron’s interview with CTV News, he mentioned that he doesn’t think current AI technology will replace writers. He said, “It’s never an issue of who wrote it, it’s a question of, is it a good story?”

Will AI take over like it did in “Terminator?” We can only pray it doesn’t turn out that way, but with how things are advancing so quickly, time will only tell!

We have more on this in today’s edition of A Few More Things You Should Know!

James Cameron Now Admits That Jack 'Might Have Lived' in 'Titanic'

James Cameron now concedes that Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack “might have survived” in Titanic. It’s the age-old question we’ve been asking since the blockbuster movie was released 25 years ago: Why didn’t Kate Winslet’s Rose pull Jack up onto the float with her? There was definitely enough room, right?

It’s a topic that is tackled in a new one-hour National Geographic special “Titanic: 25 Years Later with James Cameron.” The special is set to air this weekend. Cameron took a couple of stunt actors on a series of tests to see whether or not Rose and Jack could have survived if she had pulled him out of the water. We’ll explain below.

The special airs Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on National Geographic and streams the next day on Hulu.

  • James Cameron enlisted help from two stunt doubles

    Actors Josh Bird and Kristine Zipfel, who were thought to be about the same height and weight as Jack and Rose, were hired for the test. Cameron notes that they doubled the time for every stage of the simulation, to make up for the fact that their water wasn’t as cold as it would have been in the Atlantic Ocean in April.

  • James Cameron made sure the elements were similar to what Jack and Rose would have experienced

  • Close monitoring was done on the actors to prevent hypothermia

    Jack would have suffered severe hypothermia after only 20 minutes, far shorter than the 2 hours it took for rescue crews to arrive. But if he was pulled onto the raft, things would’ve been different.

     

  • Both actors had to work to fit themselves onto the raft

    Kneeling didn’t work and keeping only their upper bodies on top would have given them both hypothermia quickly. They compromised and sat on the raft dipping only their lower legs into the water.

  • James Cameron makes this shocking conclusion

    “Final verdict: Jack might have lived,” Cameron said, “but there’s a lot of variables.” However, he added, “In a well-lit experiment in a test pool, we can’t possibly simulate the terror, the adrenaline, all the things that would have worked against them. Jack didn’t get to run a bunch of different experiments to see what worked the best. Jack’s survival might have come at the cost of her life.”

    Cameron says he would’ve made Rose’s raft a LOT smaller now, knowing what he knows.
